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.
