technically speaking you are right. With standard I meant
a more mental/usual way Windows user use their system.
I am pretty sure that the majority of the Windows
user think \ is the correct and only path separator.

All I want is a broad acceptance of gnupg among
conventional Windows users.

hm, are you saying that Software written in a language where no
Free Software compiler exists can not be Free Software?
I don't like Delphi, but I am happy to see Delphi programmers
releasing Free Software (a first step perhaps :-).

Thanks. However, as hte copy&paste in one of my last mails shows, it seems
to work with mixed slashes. If you say it is not stable enough
I am happy that you consider the Windows Registry style.

I will now further investigate why on my system (W2000) the registry is not
read, but it works on your system.
