PATHSEP_j_ is v6 specific (or at least pre-J7 specific). In J6 it was set at the beginning of the J bootup, based on your operating system and other utilities were then defined in terms of PATHSEP_j_ (e.g. jhostpath). With the decision to standardize on '/' as the path separator for all OSs in J7 PATHSEP_j_ was no longer necessary.
Unfortunately there are still some foreign conjunctions in J7 that return '\' as the path separator on Windows. 2011/11/30 Björn Helgason <gos...@gmail.com>: > PATHSEP is in J601 as well as J602 and J701 > > 2011/11/29 Tracy Harms <kalei...@gmail.com> > >> How does the noun PATHSEP_j_ relate to this discussion?
