Because wine is not doing the parsing at all....the shell is. The argument has to get fed to wine by the shell and so has to pass through intact. :) Remember your computer is not controlled by wine. It is controlled by the OS. Windows or the underlying DOS is quite different from the normal Linux shell as far as syntax goes. On 5/28/07, E Mee <riggald@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Is there a particular reason that users are the ones who have to add the escape sequences to Wine commands, instead of users typing a Windows-style argument and Wine parsing it into escaped sequences for itself?
