If you use a newer version of gcc with support for UNIXMODE, you probably forgot to 'setenv UNIXMODE .,/LAH' (settings are explained in UNIXMODE.doc which can be found in Jwahar Bammi's gcclib or on cs.uni-sb.de). > and gnu stops unable to open (find, etc) this temp file. How do I tell > Gulam to use forward slashes? You can gulam tell to use forward-slashes, but your problem has nothing to do with gulam being your shell. The TSR unx2dos.prg in directory /pub/atari/tools (you guessed it: on cs.uni-sb.de) implements mapping of / to \ in any GEMDOS-call related to filenames. There are also other shells that can use slashes instead of backslashes (BASH can use them in internal commands, Master provides them to other programs as well). Hope this helps! - Edgar
