*nix & slashfilenames

[Roger Merchberger]

Rumor has it that Tim Riker may have mentioned these words:
>timr at slop:~$ touch \/path
>touch: cannot touch `/path': Permission denied
>timr at slop:~$ uname -a
>Linux slop 2.6.24-timriker #1 SMP Sun Feb 17 01:36:19 MST 2008 i686
>GNU/Linux

>which *nix are you on? just curious.

I was too, because it didn't work on this either:

Linux mail.30below.com 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:18:24 EST 2003 i686 athlon 
i386 GNU/Linux

Maybe 2.2?

Now you've given me one heckuva reason to spark up the latest Vcc (that's 
not +5v, it's the latest virtual CoCo[1] from David Keil) & try it on OS-9.

Yea, a lame attempt at bringing it ontopic, but at least it was an attempt! ;-)
