Marinos,

My first thought was that the problem is that the DOS shell is interpreting the
'%' character to imply environment variable substitution.  However, I tried
it on windows, and it seemed to work fine for me.

D:\warmerda>proj.exe  -f "%.12f" -I +proj=utm +zone=34 +north +ellps=WGS84
100 300
16.512152010534 0.002705816086
^Z

This was with proj 4.4.8, but I looked through the cvs logs on the proj
mainline and I don't see any notes about changes that would seem to be
related.  So at this point I just don't know.  Perhaps try upgrading to
the latest.

Best regards,
