+ARTICLE: "pathname-normalization" "Pathname normalization"
+"Words that take a pathname should normalize the pathname by calling " { $link normalize-path } ".When normalizing a pathname, the input pathname is either absolute or relative to the " { $link current-directory } ". If absolute, such as the root directories " { $snippet "/" } " or " { $snippet "c:\\" } ", the pathname is left alone, while if relative, the current directory is prepended to the pathname. If a pathname begins with the magic string " { $snippet "resource:" } ", this string is replaced with the Factor directory. On Windows, all pathnames, absolute and relative, are converted to Unicode pathamess." ;
