[plt-scheme] Require and a path

Thank you for your kind help.

I did read the document before asking. If I could have figured it out I would not have asked.

Why does:

(require (file (build-path "Dev" "CodeGen" "string-utils.scm")))

Not work then?

since (build-path ... creates a path string  -- "Dev\\CodeGen\\string-utils.scm"
