I have also found that shell scripts made to run on NT often "break"
on pathnames with blanks in them (GtkAda is where I encountered
this last). UNIX people don't always program defensively in shell
scripts for blanks in file names, usually because they were at
one time, a rare thing under UNIX (apart from Samba shares etc.),
and it's lazier programming ;-)
