You're not right: DOS itself (in its core) allows usage of forward slashes. 
Even more: if you do system calls with paths delimiters set to '/', it'll work without

Try to type 'cd c:/windows' for example from command prompt in FAR or another Windows
console application (but not from command.com - it disables 
such notation) and see the magic.
