Klaus is usually the one who picks these up. I don't see offhand any
functional problems, but the maintenance issue is something different.
Adding a lot of ifdef's will add to maintenance. If I were to work on this
section, I'd make the choice of "/" vs "\\" a #define so that I could collapse
the bulk of the changes into a small area (that could also be done with the
VMS pathnames, but would require a lot of time on VAXes that I don't have
available any longer).
Anyway, I've saved the mail, so that in case I find time to work on that
chunk (DOSPATH vs *nix names) I'll have it for reference.

the latter should be eliminated.
