Hi,

The problem is that DOS paths are treated differently, even within the
same program.
Take for instance, bash:
$ builtin test -x "$WINDIR\system32\cmd.exe"&& echo ok
yes
$ builtin exec "$WINDIR\system32\cmd.exe" /C echo ok
-bash: exec: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe: not found
That makes a lot of headache both for users and for programmers who
have to remember about all such special cases
Is it me, or is the quoting all wrong? Doesn't backslash in the double
quote (") acts as an escape character. i.e \s = s, \c = c etc.
So, how is the exec (and apparently test) getting the correct string?
