filesep on Windows

[Matthias Brennwald]

Dear all

A colleague encountered an error while running some of my code on his  
Windows machine with Octave 2.9.15. I've tracked the problem down to  
the fact that on Windows the file separator can be both '/' and '\'  
within a single path, whereas the filesep function returns only '\':

---------------------
which('mataa_path.m')
which: `mataa_path.m' is the script file
c:/octave/mataa/mataa_tools\mataa_path.m

filesep
ans = \
---------------------

What is the logic behind using two different types of file separators  
on Windoze?

Matthias
