Actually, I meant to be discussing cmd.exe not command.(exe|com) and so Win95 doesn't count (since it doesn't have cmd.exe). But your testing matched my testing on both WinNT and Win2K: "./test.bat" and "temp/test.bat" didn't work. But "c:/temp/test.bat" did. So even cmd.exe doesn't support / as well as it supports \, but it does support / as a directory path separator in some cases.

- tye (but my friends call me "Tye")

On 95 it is even weirder, using old faithful: `C:\>c:\temp\test C:\>REM Hello tye! C:\>c:/temp/test C:\>` [download] No error but no run neither! cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply] [d/l]
