Category with a slash?
Can I add a category with a slash in the name?

i.e. Tcl/Tk

No, because, if you do, you will end up with two directories being created. Once for Tcl and another for Tk. It would be better to use Tcl_and_Tk.

Wouldn't it make sense to use a different, less common, delimiter character, like '|' or '~' ??? Slash is just too useful.

Links does not specify that "/" is a delimeter. UNIX/Linux does that as does Windows (except that Windows uses "\" but it is transposed to "/" by Perl).

In other words, this is not a limitation of Links but, rather, the operating system. Alex has indicated that he might overcome this in a future upgrade to Links but, for now, we have what we have.
