- I can't vouch for anything under Irix 5.2, but under SunOS 4.1.3, "D:\" is
- a valid directory name. The only catch is that unless "D:\" is quoted, your
- shell will probably interpret the backslash as a line continuation
- indicator. I'll venture to say that Irix will probably handle the "D:\"
- similarly. Don't you have an SGI to try it on, John?
