It should do that only for arguments that have
same (unix) path prefix as the Atari program you
are running.  Reason for this is that those paths
need to be converted, like this:
	/path/to/some.prg /path/to/file.ext
=>	C:\SOME.PRG C:\FILE.TXT

But I guess that script may do the file existence
checks also if one does not give any path for the
Atari program.  I'll fix that if it's the case...

If you are running Hatari from the same
directory where your Atari program is,
like this:
	program.prg

The workaround is using this instead:
	./program.prg
