Ah, ok, that makes sense then.

Why make a seperate method for that? The functionality of turning into an
MS-DOS style path is only ever used in ToPlain(): That's what ToPlain() DOES
(in a Windows build).

Ok.

Ok. Are we going to store this value, or just use it once?

Ok.

Hmm... Bad docs I have, then. They don't say anywhere that these calls
aren't standard library calls, and they even mention standard library calls.

Does it build for you? If yes, what happens when you run it? Well, ok,
nothing, but what happens if you implement a main() and try to create a pak?

Hmm... I *know* there was something I wanted to say to you about the new
directory structure for CVS, but I simply have no clue as to what it was.
That really irritates me...
