Dos slash experience

[leisner.wbst139 at xerox.com]

I was an extensive user of Ms-Dos and tried to make my Ms-Dos machines look
like Unix machines (as much as possible).

The DOS operating system takes forward or backward slashes as path delimiters.

There's a switchar command to configure command.com (or DOS tools or whoever
looks at this).

Some applications takes only backward slashes, some take either one.

I also ran join on a drive to get /a instead of a: (no vendors seem to be able
to handle this with their install scripts or programs).
