Or whether your pathnames look entirely different, e.g VMS:

   device:[topdir.subdir.subsubdir]filename.ext;version

Pathnames are very much OS-dependent in both syntax *and* semantics.

Even the main two in use today (unix and windows) can't be
mapped directly onto each other, because windows has drive
letters and unix doesn't.
