But, if anyone has a clue as to why starting of a Windblows program from
a Z-shell doesn't work, yet from a shell-script, it does, I'd certainly

Well, isn't it going to be because sh and zsh are different shells with
different syntax and commands and rules about quoting and escaping?
I doubt that's it, because zsh strives to be fully sh compatable (as well
as ksh and mostly bash-ish). No, the real problem is likely something
else.
Vidiot doesn't really state how zsh fails, so I'd really like more
details as to what he's seeing.

Hmmm. Peculiar. Both bash (which is what you get for sh under cygwin) and
zsh understand the -x option, which prints out each line of script as you
execute it. Try modifying the first line to each of "#!/usr/bin/zsh -x" and
#!/usr/bin/sh -x" and running it that way; it should let you see what actual
args are getting passed to tsreader.
cheers,
