ok, Then no I haven't heard of anyone using VBScript specifically, but
as long as it can be invoked from a bat file, it should be fine. Are the
native versions of Perl and Python WSH compatable, if so the yes to
that part of the question.
It might be easier to have a hook script that rejects any commits that
include a doc file, but not the corresponding PDF. Then providing a
little commit wrapper script to do the conversion if necessary, prior
to commiting.
