             Bug #: 31178
           Summary: Wine's cmd always behaves like DOS, regardless of
                    Windows version setting
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.8
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: cmd
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: andreas(a)braml.org
    Classification: Unclassified


No matter what Windows version Wine is set to, the builtin cmd always behaves
like DOS regarding the interpretation of the '^' character. This breaks the
TexLive 2012 install script install-tl.bat.

The batch file contains the following test:

rem First, check if this is DOS based system
rem in DOS '^' is just a normal character
if not ^x==x goto DOS

As the script jumps to the DOS section and fails, cmd obviously interprets '^'
as a normal character, which is wrong for Windows version 2000 (maybe even NT?)
and above.
