>From your report, it seems likely that you are encountering problems<br>
stemming from the use of forward slash as the PATHNAME separator<br>
on all platforms in [abcl-0.21][1] (N.B. strings with backslash<br>
characters are normalized by the PATHNAME routines to forward slashes<br>
so such input should be fine). What is odd about your report, is<br>
that abcl-0.19 does not have this "all slashes become forward<br>
slashes" behavior, so it should not produce the same kind of error.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, ABCL development was split off from J quite some<br>
time ago (three years?). Wethe ABCL developers on armedbear-developdo<br>
not actively test with the J source tree, nor do we make the J<br>
releases. If there are J developers out there who wish help bringing<br>
the integrated ABCL release forward to solve this issue, we would<br>
be more than happy to assist by debugging/modifying our side.<br>
