Re: [armedbear-devel] #P serialization across Windows/non-Windows

The (revised, tested, working) attached patch solves the cross-platform Pathname serialization problem by eliminating the output of '\' characters in namestrings as they are all now interpreted and converted to '/' regardless of platform. 1. UNC paths now have problems. My proposal would be that UNC paths always use the "unprintable namestring" representation when I figure out what that should be like 2. No convenience function to convert a namestring to Windows '\' forms. Since Windows accepts '/' as a directory separator is this really necessary? -- "A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare to it now."
