Re: Specifying file paths in Windows

Well, the thing is, it sounds like PDFlib isnt programmed well? or perhaps there is a limitation in something they used... because, sure, windows uses C:\windows\system\blah\folder\ but you can do any of the following (this is the output from the command prompt: windoze cmd.exe C:\>cd windows/system32 C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd\ C:\>c:/windows/system32/ftp.exe ftp> quit C:\>cd /windows/system32 C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd ../system/ C:\WINDOWS\system> so there shouldnt be a problem using relative referencing and forward slashes? as far as i can see :/ -- Luke "Todd Cary" <todd@aristesoftware.com> wrote in message news:20040121150856.83766.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > I found the problem: PDFlib is expecting the file name to be in the > proper format for the system (Linux or NT).
