Back in MS-DOS 2.X, I used to be able to add the following command in my config.sys --

	"switchar = - "

The end result was that I could enter either "/" or "\" for pathname separators.  (This was a tip contained in the book entitled 
 _ DOS | UNIX systems, becoming a super user _ , written by Martin D. Seyer & William J. Mills).  This option no longer works for 
MS-ODS 3.3, etc., and I can't find it any of my MS-DOS documentation ( I don't have any development doc).

Does anyone know of a similar command/option in MS-ODS 3.X or higher?

thx,

chris
