Hello. How do you set a drive spec in 3.5? This doesn't work:

"d:\mine"

thanks,
D.

If you need it into a string, try escaping the backslash, like this:

"d:\\mine"

For setting the output directory in your .ini file, follow Ken's
advice.

Thanks very much. In fact, this works as well:

"d:/mine"

It's in a declaration, by the way: #declare rootname = "d:/mine" ;

Best,
D.
