Why not just use a "forward" slash?
It's not always that easy - A lot of times, the user wants to copy/paste
a path that's been printed by another tool. Also, the typical Windows
user seems to think that he should be able to use a valid Windows path
(which I agree)...
I agree too except when we're talking about something that is
essentially a UNIX tool. And, I don't see how you can talk about the
pain of doubling up the backslashes if you're talking about cutting and
pasting.
I know I'll be outvoted here but I I hate cluttering code with MS-DOS
workarounds.
