[Wine] Process Tree Question

[Brent Davidson]

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,
