I am having problems using the posted version utility "switchar.com".
What I need to do is tell dos to convert the '\' to '/'. The reason
for this is that I have lots of source that runs on unix with the
path names for include files. I would not like to have to convert
the forward slash to the dos backslash. I tried the switchar program
and it did not make a difference.
I know that this question has been posted to the net before, but I
could not find anything in my archives about it.
I would appreciate any help that I could get.....
Thanks in advance

While we're on the subject of the "switchar" feature: I am trying to use the MKS Toolkit in the DOS 3X Box under MS OS/2 1.1 (SDK 1.05). The "switch" progam that comes with it says, under BUGS: "Uses an undocumented DOS call." It does not have the desired effect when run in this environment. Is it possible that the OS/2 "box" does not implement this feature? I surmise that this is true, but if anyone out there knows anything about it, either to corroborate or refute my allegation, PLEASE speak up! This is most annoying, and if I cannot hope to correct it, I would at least like to know with certainty that there is no hope.

With Turbo C, anyway, #include <sys/stat.h> is fine if the switch character is set to "-". Fred Sullivan SUNY at Binghamton Dept. Math.
