[Wine] Process Tree Question

If I have an application running under wine, and it, in turn, calls a
system command, could it call that command in the Linux format, or would
the command be spawned in "wine space" for lack of a better term?
I'm trying to solve a printing problem where my application cannot
correctly print TIF files under wine due to errors in the way the
database framework it's built on builds the postscript spool file. The
solution I'm thinking of is to modify the app so that all print requests
create a randomly-named postscript file in a temp directory then have
the program call "lpr -r filename" on the file so that it will bypass
wine to print the PDF. I have verified that the PDF's built by the
system print correctly under Linux. Of course, if the program running
under wine is can only run Win/DOS applications, then this solution
won't work. Might have to install Irfan View on the on the linux box
and use that to print the PDF via wine. Everything we try to do with
this application is too d**n convoluted but it's a custom app and there
is nothing on the market that even comes close to having all the special
features we've had added over the last 3 years.
Thanks,
Brent Davidson
