Unix, of course, treats \ as an ordinary filename character. In Windows, \ and / are interchangeable in system calls, although the command shell, the desktop, and other file windows and dialogue boxes don't accept \ but only /. Inside Chicken, therefore, / is entirely portable and no translation is ever necessary. -- Ambassador Trentino: I've said enough. I'm a man of few words. Rufus T.
