Windows XP problems.

[Esa Ilari Vuokko]

 Hi!

  I've just started to play with qmtest and it looks great, but
as Windows user I have had some problems.  Sorry if these
are already discussed or are otherwise rtfm stuff.

  I don't wish to install some external shell so I used
cmd.exe undex Windows XP, which requires that script
file or shellcommand is given after /C and that filename
which is run has suffix .bat (or suffix from register).
qm.platform.get_shell_for_command added "/c" but
qm.platofmr_get_shell_for_script didn't.

Also, qm.platform.default_shell used environment
variable "COMPSPEC" while it was "COMSPEC" in my
machine.

After that it works as far as command excution is
concerned, but output doesn't match.  They look identical
in browser, so I guess it's end-of-line issue, browser or
OS specific.  Would it be a good idea to split by line
endings and compare results?

My system is Windows XP Pro, Internet Explorer 6,
Python 2.2.1 and QMTest 1.1.5

I might be blind, but online manual seem to be available
only from download page.


Regards,
Esa
