So who was the idiot who decided to use two characters as a
directory
separator anyway? This type of thing is incredibly annoying.
Some guy who was responsible for win32 internals. The fact is that '/'
can be used as a directory separator for every single win32 function needing a
filename. But this is not understood by windows apps at the user level
... except for apps ported from unix! Most of the time it was easy and
seemed to be nice to say that both '/' and '\\' are separators than to
change the
separator. I must admit that I agree with you.
