I'm of the opinion that we could save ourselves a heck of a lot of trouble by allowing both DOS and POSIX pathnames. This breaks on POSIX systems where you have directories starting with "c:" in the current directory, or files containing backslashes - both quite unlikely. The only touchy bit is case sensitivity, of course... -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
