From: Mike Ciaraldi <ciaraldi@Rochester.ARPA>
The last Digest had a message asking about how to make the option
character in DOS 2.0 be a "-" instead of a "/", and make the path-name
separator a "/" instead of a "\", to match Unix conventions.
I have been using ZDOS 2.0 on a Zenith Z-100 (pre-release), and there
is an easy way to do this. It turns out this works fine on PC-DOS 2.0
also, although it does not seem to be documented anywhere.
In your CONFIG.SYS file, include the line:
switchar=-
This changes the switch character to a minus sign. You can make it
anything you want. As long as you make it anything but a slash, the
path-name separator will automatically change from reverse-slash to
forward-slash.
