Windows accepts both forward and backslashes in file names.
Small clarification: The Windows *API* accepts both types of slash
To me, that is what Steven said.
(you can open a file using forward slashes, for instance), but not all
Windows *applications* are aware of this (generally only
cross-platform ones take notice of this), and most Windows *users*
prefer backslashes.
Do you have a source for that?
So when you come to display a Windows path, you
may want to convert to backslashes. But that's for display.
