   On MS-DOS and MS-Windows, these functions (like the function that
 actually operate on files) accept MS-DOS or MS-Windows file-name syntax,
 where backslashes separate the components, as well as Unix syntax; but
 they always return Unix syntax.  This enables Lisp programs to specify
 file names in Unix syntax and work properly on all systems without
-change.
