    Hi Franz,

    1) gtkglue.c: gsg_make_path does change the dev_name part
    of the path in the following way:
    + -> ++
    / -> +­

    so it is consistent to add
    : -> +_

    2) The transformation is done for the device name of the backend/scanner.
    I donīt think you have to copy it very often

    3) What is the path separator in OS2 (\ or /)?
    If it is not "/" do we have to translate it?

    Bye
    Oliver
