I've noticed, though, that commands that I use very frequently (mv, cp, rm, unzip) don't handle backslash ('\') directory strings very well. For example, I tried to unzip foo.zip -d \, and no files could be created. I presume this is normal behavior? And the advice is: "Stop using cmd.exe and use {bash,tcsh}"? Please confirm. Thanks, much!
