Disappearing forward slash from files paths

[George S. <g_s...@ya...>]

Hi,

On W2K, XEmacs 21.4 patch 11, xslt-process2.2,
Xalan2.4:

The file name that gets written out to the temp dir
when invoking view in browser, loses all slashes from
its path, and therefore gets written to the same
directory as the source XML file, but with a long name
essentially comprising a whole path without slashes.
For example: ~/WINNTTEMPXslt-process-output

I hardly know any Lisp, but from mucking around in
xslt-process.el urlize function, any other character
besides / was inserted successfully into the string.
But / simply vanishes from the temp-dir variable which
tells me there's another regex involved.

My workaround so far is to hard code the file path in
two places: in xslt-process-do-run, where I set the
file to "/Xslt-process-out.html", and also in
xslt-process-invoke-browser-view to the same value.
Otherwise the file to process will be both named
incorrectly, and browse-url will not find the file in
its expected location (and it would still be misnamed
even in the right location).

For reference, my TEMP var is simply c:\WINNT\TEMP. I
tried variations on it as c:/WINNT/TEMP, tried other
directories etc. Under the root dir, there's just no
extra path so both xalan and browse URL can get to it
(if I know how to work with variables in Lisp, I'd do
it better)

I'd be happy to provide more details if necessary.

Advice greatly appreciated.
