That's what I do, Robert. But just sometimes for a cross-platform release
you have to deal with backslashes. Notably when working with 4!:3 .

I'm hoping to hear from someone using J on a (non Win) platform that does
not use '/'. Otherwise I shall carry on assuming the IFWIN_z_ flag is the
only one I have to inspect.

BTW: am I right that if any of IFWINCE IFWINE  IFWOW64 is 1 then IFWIN=1
too?
