I should have said "don't accept / but only \", of course.
this is not strictly true; during installation of files (eg for
chicken-setup) some calls are done through the command shell.
In which case the code should be specialized for that purpose.
this was the original intent.
the / notation has certain other concerns as well, mostly involving
drive letter.
Well, yes: a path beginning [A-Za-z]:[/\\] is absolute on Windows but
not on Unix. That too is a special case.
see above.
i will be adding flags to it for handling special cases at my earliest
convenience.
