I have a little test program that I threw together for investigating the DrawTextEx function. (You can find it in the patches but Alexandre hasn't accepted it yet). It takes input from the szCommandLine passed to WinMain. Under windows I can pass a set of arguments, including a string enclosed in quotes. I use those quotes to recognise which part of szCommandLine is "the string". (Yes, I know it's lazy and bad argument processing). However under Wine the quotes don't get through and if I escape them with \ then the \ goes through too (which messes up "the string"). I haven't looked yet but there is something weird in there. I guess one problem is that the quotes will be removed by the shell before even reaching Wine.
