I don't know if this only applies to the IBM PC or not, but if you put SWITCHAR=- in your CONFIG.SYS file you can use "/" instead of "\" for pathnames and "-" instead of "/" for options. Has anyone done any hacking to COMMAND.COM to rename some of the internal commands? I tried but so far have had only limited success. Using DEBUG on COMMAND.COM is not a pleasant chore.

From: Willard Korfhage <korfhage@UCLA-ATS.ARPA> It you do set switchar so PC-DOS looks more like UNIX, some programs, particularly backup programs, will not work any more. This is an undocumented feature, so use at your own risk. Back issues of info-ibmpc have other messages on this topic. Willard Korfhage
