I have a Windows batch file (mytest.bat) that calls a Ruby script (mytest).

The mytest.bat looks like this:

ruby %TOOLDIR%\bin\mytest %*

When the batch file is called using "call mytest" from another Ruby script, it is automatically converting the command-line arguments.  Specifically, it is converting path arguments:

mytest -i "\testdir\mytests\test.dat"

becomes

"/testdir/mytests/test.dat"


I do not want Ruby converting these paths.  It seems like it is going through each string argument, detecting that it is a path and normalizing/converting each path from Windows-style to UNIX-style.

How do I stop Ruby from doing this?
