Some errors generated by the Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler version
6.00, as well as the QuickC Compiler versions 2.50 and 2.51, are
displayed with forward slashes in the place of backward slashes in the
error messages.

The following is an example of this type of error message:

   e:/c600/include\malloc.h(79): error C2086: '_bcalloc':
       redefinition

Note the forward slashes in "/c600/" and the backward slash in
"\malloc.h".

The forward slashes in these error messages are normal and do not
cause any problems with the compiler. This behavior is intended.
