Hi Martin,
I believe you're right, this is a bug in tace/aceserver. I ran all the tests
I could think of too. Whatever you do, anything in the [params] position of
the command gets shoved into %1, there's no way to put part in %1 and part in
%2. The list of commands still says
Table-Maker [-active] [ -h | -a | -p | -j | -x etc.] [-b start] [-c max] [-title]
[-o out_filename] [-s obj_name] {command_infile | -n name | =} [params]
, params plural, so I suppose the intention is that more than one parameter
is still supported.
