I am working with the JDK for WindowsNT and like to open a file , using the
class FileInputStream. The filename is :
  d:\users\michael\testfile.txt
But with this name I got the following compilermessage by javac :
Readfile.java:10: Invalid escape character.
        name = new String("d:\users\michael\testfile.txt");
                             ^
After changing "\" to "\\", like in C++, I got the same compiler message.
Replacing "\" with "/", like in UNIX, I got no compiler error, and the
appletviewer reads the file, but Netscape throws an FileNotFoundExecption.
How can I read this file with the appletviewer and Netscape, or what is the
correct filename ? 
In the alpha version, I could read the file with the name 
  d:\\users\\michael\\testfile.txt
within the hotjavabrowser.

Could anyone help me please.?
