Do you know why DOS uses the "\" instead of the "/" – it was because the first
version of DOS had a flat directory (no subdirectories) and IBM decided to use
"/" to separate command line options ("dir /w /one") So, when they added
sub-directories, they chose "\" because they didn't want to confuse users.
I realize you don't care, but there it is anyway.
