I'm sorry to say that you are wrong. It does not work on W98.
Here is my test:

EHUD-P-II-21:17:56-/etc-519# command.com /c echo ~/tst.run $HOME/xxx
/c/ehuds/tst.run /c/ehuds/xxx
EHUD-P-II-21:19:10-/etc-520# run-win.sh command.com /c echo ~/tst.run $HOME/xxx
+ '[' DONE = '' ']'
++ cnvrt_path /c/ehuds
++ cygpath -w /c/ehuds
+ export 'HOME=c:\ehuds'
+ HOME=c:\ehuds
+ CMD=
++ cnvrt_path command.com
++ echo command.com
+ CMD= command.com
++ cnvrt_path /c
++ echo /c
+ CMD= command.com /c
++ cnvrt_path echo
++ echo echo
+ CMD= command.com /c echo
++ cnvrt_path /c/ehuds/tst.run
++ cygpath -w /c/ehuds/tst.run
+ CMD= command.com /c echo c:\ehuds\tst.run
++ cnvrt_path /c/ehuds/xxx

c:\ehuds\tst.run c:\ehuds\xxx
