Problem is that Windows filenames often do contain spaces, and that the
OS, when you
use the "Open with..." menu item on a document, is not so friendly as to
quote this filename.
So WinBoard will be confronted with command lines like
winboard.exe Candidate Matches.pgn
winboard.exe KingCheck ICS.xsf
The proper way to handle that is to set up the association correctly.
You can have "Open With..." behave however you want, just there's no GUI
method for accomplishing this with recent versions of windows. But the
registry correctly deals with sending extra options, quoting the
filename, etc.
Turning spaces into non-terminators in order to facilitate operation
w/out running an installer seems like a bad plan to me. You can always
create .BAT files...
