I completely agree with you on how it should work.

I don't think this is what is happening though.  I get an "Unrecognized
option: -config" from java.exe instead of the config argument actually
being passed into the JetProxyServer.  It appears that wine may somehow be
reordering the command-line parameters.

If I take wine out of the picture and call Java using the following
command it works properly:

java -cp $LOCALCLASSPATH com.jet.jdbc.server.JETProxyServer -config
$CONFIG_FILE

If I modify this and do

java -cp $LOCALCLASSPATH -config com.jet.jdbc.server.JETProxyServer
$CONFIG_FILE

I get "Unrecognized option: -config"
