Hm, well, maybe, maybe not. Why not avoid guessing and use
either "/" (which java will convert into \ if you're on a windows
system) or File.separator (which is the "right" way to do it, but can
get kind of awkward)?

I don't think so, but I've been away from that bit of my code
for a few weeks (and it's not handy to look at the moment).

One gotcha I've run into several times wtih file paths is making
sure that the file path works from the command line. Specifically,
obviously you should make sure that the file path as given works from
your command line. However, I've also run into gotchas where I was
checking by loading the filepath in my editor, and the editor expanded
the filepath for me, where the java application didn't :-).
