Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-08-09 11:28:06 EDT 
On UNIX, the \ character is a valid part of a file name.
But in RSE, this character gives several problems:
* From the New > File and New > Folder dialogs, files with a \ in their
  name can not be created -- they create a subfolder instead
* When creating such a file from the commandline, \ characters tend to be
  duplicated to \\ such that they are not usable any more

Via bug 235492 I have found that for dstore, one problem is that

   org.eclipse.rse.services.clientserver.PathUtility#normalizeUnix()

replaces every "\" character with a "/" character.
