Agent File Access

[Oliver Sampson]

Hi,
I'm not sue what winepath does, and the 'winepath --help' doesn't seem
to do much.

What I'm talking about for Agent in particular, is that when Agent as
a Windows program communicates with (for example) gimp as a unix
program and passes a command line parameter, like a file path (it
still thinks it's in C:\Data\agent rather than "~/data/agent", to
open, all of the back slashes should be changed to forward slashes.  

How would I use winepath in this situation?

Thanks,
Oliver
