At least that "application" is currently in hard developing process.
Besides, nobody complained yet about Wine incompatibility in a way

DOS/Windows programmer knows about '/' and '\' from the very first
his days of dealing with paths and full path names.
Don't forget that DOS always tried to mimic UNIX behaviour in path handling.
