The .BATs are pretty easy to make, but changing the "\" to a "/" and
vice-versa is the hard part.  I don't think it's worth tracing and
killing MS's DOS alteration-preventer.  (MS can be such a party
pooper!  All I tried to do was make it say "Starting Mc-DOS" instead
of "Starting "MS-DOS", and it gave me a screenful of checkmarks, and
locked up.)
