Using +fourCC with spaces in FourCC

I'm using ATI Compressonator 1.50

I want to compress a .TGA file (24bit) to ATC RGB format.

I'm using

TheCompressonator.exe -convert -overwrite myFile.TGA myFile.DDS +fourCC ATC

but it convert back to RGB8888.

Using +fourCC ATCI our ATCE (same than ATC but with alpha) works

Also using +fourCC ETC (also produce a RGB8888 DDS).

If I convert from the tool, it works, but not in command line.

Is there a workaround for that ?

I think I found the solution. Adding space after ATC rectifies the issue. Add double quote to do so. Command line looks like:

TheCompressonator.exe -convert -r "source" "dest" -format .dds +fourCC "ATC "

I found this by investigating binary dump of the exe file.

Hope this helps.
