Forward Slash May Be Ignored As A Path Delimiter In 3.51
This article was previously published under Q133701
Functions like stat() may fail when a forward slash is used as a path
delimiter.
Windows NT 3.51 ignores the '/' as a path delimiter when the ExpandDosPath
function is called.
To correct this problem, install the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows
NT version 3.51. A fix was made to ExpandDosPath(PSTR pszPathGiven) in
WKFILEIO.C to pass over the path name string first and convert any ""
characters to "\".
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51.
This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows
NT version 3.51. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on
the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
S E R V P A C K
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
