The only reason I know to convert / to \\ is when spawning a process 
that requires command.com/cmd.exe.  If a script file or environment 
settings and variables uses \, then the easiest method is to convert 
them to / before using the string value.  Before spawning a process, 
convert the path to the executable from / to  \\ instead.
