That is the UNIX C compiler again. UNIX uses a forward slash, and since C is
used to build UNIX, many 'C' compilers use a forward slash. If you are using
an editor written in 'C' like EMacs, you have to use forward slashes in the
file descriptors. It gets somewhat confusing forward slashing the filenames
and backslashing the shell command moves, but you get used to it!
