Re: [Texmacs-dev] Deprecate FullName.exe

Hi Darcy,

Could you please revert these changes?

Please send us a patch for this kind of changes,
so that we can evaluate your patch first before applying it.

This kind of thing is likely to introduce instabilities that
we prefer to avoid, at least currently.

Best wishes, --Joris
