Package is not working in Windows operating system

[TeroFrondelius]

Briefly the problem seems to be in the spawning of the lintserver

julia -e using Lint; lintserver("AppData\Local\Temp\lintserver9088xIPmVEoKE4gssock")

The error message

ERROR: syntax: invalid escape sequence
 in eval(::Module, ::Any) at .\boot.jl:234
 in process_options(::Base.JLOptions) at .\client.jl:239
 in _start() at .\client.jl:318

Thus I believe it should be something like "AppData\\Local\\Temp\\lintserver9088xIPmVEoKE4gssock"

No success yet

julia -e using Lint; lintserver("AppData\\Local\\Temp\\lintserver9928gN5zTxOVOSDCsock")

but still the error:

ERROR: ArgumentError: could not listen on path \AppData\Local\Temp\lintserver9928gN5zTxOVOSDCsock
 in listen(::String) at .\stream.jl:944
 in lintserver(::String) at \.julia\v0.5\Lint\src\Lint.jl:352

 in process_options(::Base.JLOptions) at .\client.jl:239

I need to check julia issues and possible file a new one:

julia> listen(tempname())
ERROR: ArgumentError: could not listen on path \AppData\Local\Temp\jl_ADD1.tmp
 in listen(::String) at .\stream.jl:944

This is fixed: tonyhffong/Lint.jl#188, still need to wait to get it merged.

Now it's merged.
