Re: "RUN" command on Windows

Yep - because when you run them via MingW - you're using a 'bash'.
When you run the Aubit4GL compiled executable - you've not got that any
more.
(Thats not to say you couldnt put things in a .sh script file - then run
bash /somefile etc etc)

You could probably also hack the Aubit4GL library to kick off "bash" when
it does the run - but it wouldn't work unless you had bash installed - and
that's not a requirement for running Aubit4GL on windows so it wouldnt be
right to have it as the normal RUN action...

Thats one of the beautiful things about opensource :)
