:-D Yes, this is nice!

I test the system as follows:
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. IF INSTR(_OS$, "LINUX") THEN OS = 1 ELSE OS = 0
  2.     CASE 1
  3.         'Linux Path:
  4.         Path = "./"
  5.     CASE 0
  6.         'Windows Path:
  7.         Path = ".\"
  8.

You can also:
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. $IF WIN THEN
  2.     Path = ".\"
  3.     Path = "./"

The reality is that it makes no difference for QB64's statements if you use / or \, no matter the operating system. Statements like OPEN, and others that deal with files, just don't care and work the same whether you pass them a path with \ or / as separators.

You must only worry about separators if you use SHELL.
