Well, two ways... 1, include file.e which defines PATHSEP and also NL depending
on platform or 2. almost exactly how you did it, but a new way w/much speed
improvements:

sequence SLASH
ifdef LINUX then
    SLASH = "/"
else
    SLASH = "\\"
end ifdef

This platform check takes place at parse/compile time not during runtime. The
difference is described in detail in:
