cvs commit: hugs98/src machdep.c
sof 2002/01/16 23:26:27 PST Modified files: src machdep.c Log: For Win32, use both ':' and ';' as separators in import search paths. The only case where ':' isn't recognised as a separator is when it occurs in the context "<drive>:\" (where <drive> is a single char) Having a common format for import search paths helps cross-platform use/setups -- Mac users may want to have a look at tweaking this code to also recognise ':' too.

Horrors! ':' is the directory separator on older Macs, like '/' on unixen. That simply won't work... But maybe we could adopt a scheme were path strings that can be recognized as being in unix format will be interpreted correctly on all platforms? Or maybe we should just leave the old Mac code as it is -- the new MacOS X is after all using the using the unix style as it is. My guess is that more and more Mac users are switching over. What were the dowload numbers for the Mac when split up between the two offered packages? -- Johan
