hello
	i dont know if this will help but i seem to remember doing a bit
of  coding a ways back and using fopen("c:\filename","r+b") in dos
it wouldn't see the file till i did fopen("c:\\filename","r+b") so it may
be the doshell is eating the first backslash, linux's bash will do this
too i.e if you do:-
	echo -e \\f
you get a formfeed but a single backslash and you it just prints 'f'
so maybe its seeing it c:info ?
