You can use both.
The kernels of DOS and Windows support both styles of slashes, so the
OS itself doesn't care. It's only some losing applications written
for DOS/Windows that don't support forward slashes and create an
illusion that the OS doesn't support them as well. One such losing
application is COMMAND.COM.
DJGPP doesn't include such losing applications (if you find one,
please report it as a bug).
