as reported and discussed in the thread 
""win98, ctrl-c & System.system (was: Updated 6.4 
Windows installer RC)""

Sigbjorn suggested a fix, getting the command 
interpreter to use from the environment instead of
hardcoding it:

bugs/2005-March/004862.html

note that on my windows98se system, there is no
command.exe, only command.com:

$ echo $COMSPEC
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM

which does support the /c switch. Btw, I can't find a way 
to pass this switch through System.Cmd.rawSystem - 
can anyone enlighten me on how to do this?
