I'm not sure what to do about the backslash problem. Are you saying that 'include std\file.e' fails because of this? Or that open("temp/test.txt", "w") fails? My understanding was that MinGW supported it either way, so MinGW compiled Eu should too. If I am wrong, then the typical way to deal with this is to have a standardize_file_seperator() function which would accept using either backslash or forward slashes as a file seperator and then return either all backslash on watcom or all forward slash on MinGW.
What I'm trying to say is that the proper way to fix this is to make it so that MinGW compiled EU works with either type of slash. If I had a way to build and run MinGW compiled programs I could probably get this done in a day...
