pathname

[Doit]

Are pathname, fliename platform independent?
- Thanks.

I believe that pathname / filename are platform DEPENDENT.
RHE gives the following example on page 378:
on a Unix machine:
File f = new File("/tmp", "xyz"); // assume /tmp is a directory
on a Windows machine:
File f1 = new File("C:\\a"); // assume C:\\a is a directory
File f2 = new File(f1, "Xyz.java");
