Gruss bug team: Please honor value of `directory-sep-char' instead of using hard-coded "/" throughout the EFS package. I suspect this makes EFS fail on Windows NT. Currently I am running a patched version of xemacs-21.0-b46 which normalizes path names to use Unix syntax so that is works with EFS. Consequently I was not able to verify my assessment of the problem. Please let me know if I can be of further help/nuisance.
