Djgpp seems to be pretty good at accepting either forward or backward slashes
in most places.  I believe it used to be pickier.  For that matter, DOS also
accepts either style slash anywhere except on the command line.  If you do
manage to get the wrong style slashes into one of the programs, it will tell
you this by failing to find a file or something similar.  I see places in the
GO32 source code where \ get translated to /, so I suppose the forward slash
is "correct".
