--- Comment #14 from Lantizia <s.maddox at lantizia.me.uk> ---
Figuring out workarounds specific to how ST-BOTF does patching wasn't the aim
of filing this bug.  The actual problem isn't going to be specific to just one
app, but rather it's generic problem (see the title of the bug).  However
thanks for doing the research, but I'd already figured out a few similar
workarounds like those you mentioned for ST-BOTF anyway.

Essentially you're trying to treat symptoms and not the cause (and oddly from a
64-bit Windows 10 perspective... which most Wine users won't be using).

But when you said... "DOSBox is a DOS Game emulator not a replacement for the
Commmand Prompt or NTVDM".

That's interesting!  It may be that the underlying bug here is the expectations
Wine has on DOSBox filling this role, in the first place.  

But I still think in this particular case, the fix is to just get Wine to
properly write out that DOSBox temporary config file in a way which includes
any '<' symbol and whatever comes after it (particularly as they were given to
Wine **in quotes**).  Where, whichever part of Wine is responsible, is clearly
neglecting to do... for whatever reason.
