Hello Stephan,

Thank you for your reply.  To answer your question, I thought it was a typo for
several reasons:

1. In researching http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=73620, I tried
four possible syntaxes, "file:/", "file://", "file:///", "file:////" and none of
them worked.

2. I found other instances on the OOo website and documentation that listed the
syntax as "file:///".

3. Shoddy and incorrect documentation abound in the OOo project, so this was a
reasonable conclusion.

In summary, this was not an assumption, it was a conclusion reached based on
experience, research and a diligent effort to solve the problem before putting
in a bug report.

If you are saying that a UNC path is distinguished by having only two slashes
after the "file:", rather than three slashes, then you are right, it is not
ambiguous.  I am still glad I raised the issue however, since (a) this needs to
be better documented; and (b) based on how well UNC paths do not work in OOo,
there seems to be just as much confusion among the developers as the users.

Thank you again for your response.

Allen
