Thanks for the replies guys. I knew the code itself would not change but underneath the correct interpretation of the slash would be used given the OS involved.
The reason I asked is that a tutorial user stated he had to change all of the backslashes to foreslashes to get the example listings to work in Linux. But like I said I could have swore QB64 would handle this behind the scenes. It could be that he is using a version of QB64 before this was implemented. I haven't gotten a reply back from him yet to find out.
I was hoping to avoid having to add directives to detect Windows and Linux in all of the source code I posted on the tutorial. I'll probably add a section in the tutorial detailing this and other differences between OS' when using QB64.
I'm going to set up another Linux box in the mean time. Those of you that use QB64 with Linux which distribution would you recommend? In the past I usually went with Mint. Any downside to using Mint?
