How can one convert back slashes to forward slashes, e.g, changing 
"c:\a\b" to "c:/a/b"?  I tried the following:

 > gsub("\\\\", "/", "c:\a\b")
[1] "c:\a\b"

          Since this didn't work, I eliminated the replacement as a contributor 
as follows:

 > gsub("X", "/", "c:XaXb")
[1] "c:/a/b"

          The following seems to illustrate the problem:

  strsplit("c:\a\b", "")
[[1]]
[1] "c"  ":"  "\a" "\b"

          How can one automate this?

          Thanks,
