The MS-DOS COMMAND.COM shell uses the forward slash '/'
as its SWITCHAR to designate command-line parameters.
In dos versions 2.x the following line could be added
to the CONFIG.SYS file to change that character to a '-',
allowing the '/' to be used as a separator for directory
names in a path:

        SWITCHAR=-

This doesn't work for dos 3.1.  Is there another way to do it?
