I'm working on a proprietary file compression program for an emergency
OS recovery package, and I've run across a problem with _fixpath.  I'm
porting my code from MSVC 1.52 and I'd rather not have to change all of
my backslashes to forward slashes in the directory parsing code unless
I absolutely have to.

I understand that _fixpath, by default, returns lower case paths with
UNIX-style (forward) slashes.  To change this behavior, one should do
something like the following:

#include <crt0.h>

int main()
{
	_crt0_startup_flags = _CRT0_FLAG_PRESERVE_UPPER_CASE |
		_CRT0_FLAG_USE_DOS_SLASHES |
		_CRT0_FLAG_PRESERVE_FILENAME_CASE;
... (etc.)
}

However, I've done this and _fixpath *still* returns paths (albeit
uppercase) with forward slashes.  What gives?  Is this a bug?

Thanks...
