the sollution that paths like //comp/share are interpreted like an UNC-path is just not compatible with an application might expect from a unix-environment. the 2 slashes should be collapsed and nothing else. > "Patches gratefully accepted" (C). Oops, sorry, I guess it's "Donations > gleefully accepted" now... :-D which unc-prefix would that be? i would prefer an "automount-like" feature as i already suggested: /unc-mount-point-path/computer/share where /unc-mount-point-path/computer/ might be a virtual folder with all shares avaiable and /unc-mount-point-path/ might be a virtual folder with all known computers just an idea. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
