--- Comment #22 from Emmanuel Charpentier <emm.charpentier at free.fr> ---
I saw Alexandre's answer.

But I'm still unable to understand how I could lauch, for example, Linux's
/usr/bin/iceweasel from either the command line or a VBA Call Shell() call.

For example, from a "wine cmd" terminal, trying :
start /unix /usr/bin/iceweasel
gives me an error dialog box stating "Aucun programme Windows n'est configuré
pour ouvrir ce type de fichier." (approximatively : "No Windows program is
configured to open this type of file").

Similarly, in the same terminal, trying :
start /unix /bin/ps
gives me a blank line (no error), and gets back to the prompt.

Trying :
Z:\home\charpent>Z:\bin\ps
is a bit more verbose :
"Ne reconnaît pas « Z:\bin\ps » comme commande interne ou externe, ou fichier
de commandes." (approximatively "Does not recognize Z:\bin\ps as an internal or
external command or command file").

Maybe we should have an utility calling the system (Linux) shell and associate
it with, for example the ".SH" exytension ? This would allow to create specific
or generic shells invoking whatever Linux progfram we wish and communicate its
outputs to Wine ?

Note : I'm currently using Debian testing distribution, which is currently at
at wine-1.8-rc4. Does this specific version has incompatibilities ?

Any idea ?
