#29 Print names when too many output files

[Jimm Domingo]

A user reported getting the "too many output files" error when running the attached batch file. The command that runs MCC-LIDAR appears correct on Windows and even in email clients (e.g., Thunderbird) on OS X. However, the character in front of the "c" option is not a minus sign; it is an en-dash (0x96). The batch file uses the Windows-1252 character encoding. Therefore, the program does not see the "c" option, and instead, interprets as an output file.

This subtle bug in the batch file was not easily discovered because the program simply reports that there are not many output files. The error message does not list the output files. It would help the user troubleshoot the problem if the error did list the file names.
