[jsword-devel] Resource

[Joe Walker]

Hi,

I *think* it is right to use "/" because we're not necessarily talking about
something on the file system. Since base is a URL, it could exist on a
web-server (where / is correct). For most practically cases however the file
is on the file system where the URL library should convert to the correct
separator.
I'm now using XP, and it seems to work OK for me. Is it failing for you?

Joe.
