At least up through MSC 4, all of the standard library calls
(open, mv, rename, fopen, etc.) all accepted '/' delimited
paths.  I don't remember if the libraries translated them to
'\' before making system calls or not, but all of the DOS apps
I ever wrote used '/' as a path separator (it was just way
easier, especially in literal strings).
