[Haskell-cafe] Handling Windows file name conventions without unix (Posix) package?

[David Johnson]

Dominick,

I recommend looking at the unix-compat package when working on non-posix
systems.

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/unix-compat-0.4.1.1/docs/System-PosixCompat-Files.html

As far as dealing with the different file conventions across OS's, I
recommend looking at the filepath library. It has functions for dealing w/
filepaths agnostically.
