RE: [cvsnt] Unix Slashes on Temp DrivesThe DOS/Windows command line utilities use slash as the option character; therefore file name arguments cannot contain slashes.

The Windows API, however, treats forward slashes and backslashes identically. So 

    CreateDirectory("\\cvstemp\\test1", 0);

and

    CreateDirectory("/cvstemp/test1", 0);

both work.

  When at the command prompt I get the following: 

  C:\cvstemp>mkdir \cvstemp\test1 

  C:\cvstemp>mkdir /cvstemp/test1 
  The syntax of the command is incorrect. 

  C:\cvstemp>mkdir \cvstemp/test1 
  The syntax of the command is incorrect. 

  Win2K doesn't seem to like the forward slashes.
