interestingly I don't seem to need the \ quotes in win2k. What system is
it that needs those?

I know that in unices it's possible to create files with very odd names
including things with spaces in. Therefore the included space can happen
and there I would expect to be able to use either " " or ' ' and
provided that system/popen uses a shell I would expect to get away with
quite strange paths.
