This is a quite interesting theory. So I went ahead and tried to launch LogicWorks with a "windows" method in wine, and well, I've failed so far with wine's ProgMan.exe. The progman crashes anyway I've tried. So I boot to windows and try logicworks from cmd.exe. Indeed, I hit the same bug as in wine. So what we have are programs that expect a certain behavior and the command line doesn't do it. Bad design. So could we have a program or launcher in wine to launch programs the "windows" way? Jesse
