I don't know yet whether this bug is in `strip' or in `rename' from
DJGPP library, but there is a work-around: use forward Unix-style
slashes, like so:
strip d:/prog.exe
This works. Robert, can you please look at `strip' and see whether it
cannot grok backslashes for some reason? These problems are usually
in the application code, since library functions treat both kinds of
slashes in the same way.
