  32. Description:
  33.  
  34. UnixTrans is a module which translates Unix filenames into RISC OS filenames.
  35. It translates any filename which starts with a '~', a '/' or a '.', so for
  36. example:
  37. /library                    -> $.library
  38. ../g                        -> ^.g
  39. /dev/scsi/jarre/longfiles   ->  scsi::jarre.$.longfiles
  40.  
  41. If you combine this module with LongFilenames, then you have the facility to do
  42. almost any Unix-type operation.
