All I want to know is who decided to use \ instead of
/ for
directory separators (warming up the tar and holding feathers).
I use Windows and Solaris. The driectory separator drives me batty.
One thing that DOS got right is to retain the file date when
a file is copied to another directory.

Um, not really. When you copy a file you're making a distinctly new file,
and therefore it has a different creation date. If you MOVE it then
that's another story.
I guess it's how you look at it. Perhaps the CLONE command is what you
really want :)

I know this is kind of an old discussion, but what is the big deal about \ vs. / ?
