About this application.

This was originally written as a handy app for me to use when swapping
paths between dos, maya and shake.  It's been super handy ever since.


How to use.

1. Run the executable.
2. Copy a text string (CTRL-C, or right click copy)
3. Click on the "\\/" Icon in the taskbar
4. Select the way you want the slashes to go.
5. Paste the string somewhere.



How it works.

It swaps any groups of slashes to being what you ask for.  For instance
if you have the following string in your copy buffer:

C:\Program Files\Apache\htdocs\index.html

here is what each button will give you:

[\]   C:\Program Files\Apache\htdocs\index.html
[\\]  C:\\Program Files\\Apache\\htdocs\\index.html
[/]   C:/Program Files/Apache/htdocs/index.html
[//]  C://Program Files//Apache//htdocs//index.html
[\/]  C:\/Program Files\/Apache\/htdocs\/index.html


Quoted slashes \/ and /\ will be treated as one slash.  So the following
string:

//This is a string that has \/quoted\/ slashes\\

will be translated by [\] as:

\\This is a string that has \quoted\ slashes\\
