May be so, but you can't do things that you take for granted in Unix,
like running multiple commands in sequence with a semicolon. And, as
You can string them together with &&.  I just tried to string them 
together with semicolons.  It does something, but I don't see a 
consistent behavior (and I don't care enough to figure it out.)
far as I know, the "system" function in most Win32 compilers does not
try to invoke a command interpreter, it just runs the program
specified, with arguments.
That's true.  But the command you tell it to run can be cmd.exe, then 
you are starting a shell.  Besides, the Windows implementation is no 
more right or wrong than the Unix one, just different.
