Subject: Re: How to solve Windows PATH in Ruby??

Hi,

just escape your backlashes, or use forward slashes (/).

In my code I convert all paths tu unix style, work with them in that
form, and just before calling windows I convert them back. It makes
things much simpler. And in most cases even windows can handle forward
slashes.
