The MSDOS "option character" (switchar) can be changed in a manner that
has been described numerous times in this group.  I won't go into
it again here.  But note that the MSDOS filename-oriented system
calls ALREADY accept both '\' and '/' in pathnames, regardless of
switchar settings.  So unless a compiler is braindamaged, you should
already be able to use syntax like:

fopen("c:/foo/bar" ... 

without difficulty.
