Root 2.23/11 problems (NT 4.0)

I am having the following problems with root 2.23/11 (WinNT 4.0 SP5, 
compiled with VC 6.0 SP3):

If I specify a single argument on the command line ("root foo.C"), root 
loads and executes foo.C just fine. But if I specify two arguments "root 
foo.C bar.C", then root does not execute either file. If I type ".x foo.C" 
and ".x bar.C" at the CINT prompt, then the macros execute correctly. Can 
others duplicate this problem?

If I am running root in directory E:\xxx\yyy\zzz and save a canvas as .eps 
from the canvas window menu (File/Save As...) choosing "Encapsulated 
Postscript (*.eps)" and giving it the name "m_pCanvas.eps", then the file 
is saved as xxxyyyzzzm_pCanvas.eps. I think there must be a new bug in the 
path-separator parser in the Windows NT version. Interestingly, if I save 
as "m_pCanvas.root", there is no problem, so the bug seems to be specific 
to the EPS SaveAs routine. Also, calling m_pCanvas->SaveAs("m_pCanvas.eps") 
works properly. The only problem happens when I try to save from the Canvas 
menu.

Thanks for any help or advice,
Jonathan Gilligan
