Yes, you should. All Microsoft OS'es of which I am aware will accept both
"\" and "/" within a file specification as a path delimiter. This dates all
the way back to the old DOS days, it was to ease porting of Unix programs
over. (Heck, DOS even supported referring to devices as /DEV/xxxx to
maintain some Unix compatibility, even though /DEV did not exist in any real
sense).
Parsing filenames on a command line is one exception, since "/" is generally
used there the way "-" is used in Unix.
