It has been brought to my attention that some broken web sites use a backslash (\) instead of
a slash (/) as a directory delimiter in URLs. That's wrong, of course: a backslash is not a
directory delimiter. Worse, some browsers assume that that's the problem and change a backslash
into a slash.
Normally you will have linked to this page via a link to http://www.lemis.com/why\backslashes\are\not\slashes.html,
but if your browser is broken you have probably made it via http://www.lemis.com/why%5Cbackslashes%5Care%5Cnot%5Cslashes.html.
These broken browsers will lead you to
