Hi daz,

Thanks for your succinct and apparently portable solution:

> Dir.getwd.gsub!(File::SEPARATOR, File::ALT_SEPARATOR)

I had used:

			sCurDir = Dir.getwd.gsub(/\//, '\\')

which appears to have worked fine.

I have two nit-picking questions, if you don't mind.

1. Am I correct in assuming File::ALT_SEPARATOR ought to be set by the
group that ports Ruby to a platform?

2. Am I also correct that the "!" operator is not significant because
you have to have a target variable to receive the transformed w.d.
string?

Again, despite my modest disappointment in the lack of a feature that
I recall being in Perl, I am nevertheless appreciative of a portable
solution.

Regards,
Richard
