Comment 13 for bug 243390

Shouldn't this be fixed by 1.0? I mean, people who install Word viewer would want the ability to associate *.doc files with it as easily as they can associate native Linux apps.

My fix was to run word viewer from a script that detects if an arg is a path (by checking if it contains a slash), and if so, replaces each / with a \ and adds a z: at the beginning, and then passes the string to wordview.exe.

Come to think of it, all apps running in Wine (not just wordview) should be run from such a script; this way user files passed on to them would be converted to a DOS-path.
