Okay, I've changed this so that it always expects a full file name, and if 
GDLPP is not defined, it will use the directory of the current EXE and 
assume the name is "gdlpp".

Don't think I had any spaces in any of the names, but I've gone ahead and 
put quote marks around the name of the program and the name of the input 
file, just to be on the safe side.
