[Dune] VTK Files Visualized with Paraview on Windows ?

[Benedikt Oswald]

Hello Christian, thanks for the quick reply!

In fact, yes, we certainly do have path delimiters in the file names.
The reason being that on the cray we have write the files into
a specific scratch file, something like /scratch/rosa/boswald etc.

So, it seems, we have run into the limitations of Windows once again ?

Is there any way to circumvent this ? We have users here who
run the numerical analysis on the Cray and visualize their results
on all kinds of Windows machines…
