[Ohrrpgce] Re: error message! (when running directly from C:\)

[Mike Caron]

Ah yes, the classic path$ + "\" doesn't work, since the system returns
"C:\" for the root, as opposed to "C:\games" (no slash).

The fix is easy enough: Anywhere where a "\" is added onto a path, it
needs to check to see whether it already has a slash. Or,
alternatively, the code that generates a path needs to ensure that
paths it returns don't have a slash.
