Yes. If you type in c:/windows, explorer will flip it back around. If you do that in CMD, it'll think you're trying command-line arguments so it won't work. The trick is to verify that / is just as valid as \ when using the Win32 APIs which most apps translate to at some point. Unfortunately I have to jump into a meeting and I can't look it up. The Win32 API and SDKs are on MSDN and searchable.

I just looked up UNC at this site: http://www.answers.com/topic/unc And it seems to indicate that a UNC can use either "/" or "\". So if "\" is hard coded into the VistA code, it will still only work with Windows. Right?
