I write a Windows application that I want to be useful under Linux & WINE. I want to use xchm to view the help documentation .chm file since WINE doesn't yet properly display this .chm file which was generated with third party tools and includes advanced features. xchm does render the file acceptably and I'll e-mail the .chm file to anyone interested in that.
But for the time being, I want to simply launch xchm from my app whenever my app finds itself being run under WINE. What I have is done so far is system() a command with path names of xchm and my .chm file that seem to basically be trying to outsmart WINE outsmarting Windows. Clearly this is an ugly hack and is not a long term solution.
Is there a supported/recommended manner of launching an X Window System executable with Linux absolute path arguments from a MS Windows application running under Linux & WINE?
