Subject: system (cmd) on windows


Hi,

two questions :

1.

system("T:/cvsnt/cvs.exe", "-d
:pserver:username@cvshost:d:/cvsrepos/test co Foobar")
doesn't work, whereas
system("T:/cvsnt/cvs.exe -d :pserver:username@cvshost:d:/cvsrepos/test
co Foobar")
works

all examples i found had system ("cmd", "args")
is that normal for some executables or is it a buggy behaviour from
cvs.exe ?


2.

my rubyscript lies under C:/cvs.rb
my cvsworkspace = T:/cvsworkspace

now i want to fire my cvs command out of the 
cvsworkspace folder

in a windowshell i would do=
T:
cd workspace
T:/cvsnt/cvs.exe -d :pserver:username@cvshost:d:/cvsrepos/test co Foobar

how to emulate that with system(...)
i tried to ; separate it :

system("T:;cd workspace;T:/cvsnt/cvs.exe -d
:pserver:username@cvshost:d:/cvsrepos/test co Foobar")

but that doesn't work

Any ideas ?
