Win98 and fs_exec

I wasted a week to figure this silly problem out but ended up understanding the gallery code instead.
Anyway I could not find the solution to the problem anywhere in the forum after searching a lot and since win32 is not supported I could not get any response either.
Ok I was getting the thumbnail(o) error and unable to create the thunbnails etc.

The problem was in the platform/fs_win32.php - as far as win98 is concerned, might not be ture for other win32 platforms.

function fs_exec($cmd, &$results, &$status, $debugfile) {

// We can't redirect stderr with Windows. Hope that we won't need to.
return exec("cmd.exe /c $cmd", $results, $status);
~~~~~~
}

instead of cmd.exe I realised I had to use command (.com) since I did not have cmd.exe
in my system, but the error codes were as expected which was misleading and I was unknowingly always runnng the commands on the dos prompt(command.com) whithout realising this.

return exec("command /c $cmd", $results, $status);
After that I could upload the images successfully and everything else works fine apparantely.

Please let me know if this helped any of the folks out there.

I tried using:

return exec("command /c $cmd", $results, $status);

on my Win2K test box but it didn't work. Anybody have a solution that works for both Win98 and Win2K?
