On WinMe, it looks like start/wait notepad.exe invokes start with the /wait option, but in Wine, it invokes start\wait.exe.
you mean from command.com, keying start/wait does what you do I think we should test if CreateProcess on WinXX does the same or not I suspect CreateProcess to implement an algorithm like: n = 1 a/ take the n first chars of the command line if we can match this with an exec, then run it, and chars from command line from n+1 to end of line are arguments (which get parsed with spaces and rtabs as delimiters) otherwise, increment n and go to a/ wine current implementation is a bit more rustic in a sense that our loop is only made of using spaces as separator for implementing the a/ loop
the first thing to do IMO is to add this test case to our create process list
A+
