Ok, I agree about the problem of \ vs / under Win9X. However on my
machine, texexec.ini is found "by searching" instead of by kpsewhich.
That's the reason why I didn't notice the problem at first.
I also agree that the path shouldn't be prepended to the commands in
all cases. I'll try to clean that up and submit it to Hans.
