SET( _SET_DIRSEPARATOR, "\" ) makes what you need inside Harbour code but please remember that if you pass some parameters to externally executed commands then you should make conversion to native OS directory separator. You may also have similar problems with file case. In *nixes file systems are case sensitive. SET( _SET_FILECASE, "LOWER" | "UPPER" | "MIXED" ) SET( _SET_DIRCASE, "LOWER" | "UPPER" | "MIXED" ) can be used to enable (disable) conversions arbitrary conversions of all file/dir names used inside Harbour code. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
