That is a problem of the cmd shell where "/" is used as "-" in unix, for backward compatability of DOS.
Early DOSs had a system call to change the switch character. If you changed it to something else, then the shell and kernel *would* happily cope with /.
However, most third-party applications ignored the switch character setting, and it eventually went away completely.
