  There was an interesting article about the switchar problem in *.* 
  section of the July issue of PC World.  In effect it says that the
  TREE.COM program performs an undocumented DOS function call (37) to
  determine the switchar character.  Some assembler code is given to
  implement the determination of the switchar.

  I would appreciate hearing from anyone who figures out how to make the
  \ separator work in all cases.
