Can you quote some documentation for that? I'm not trying to be 
difficult, but as I said I remember going through this with Jan a while 
ago, so I just think we should make sure we have the real facts instead 
of "AFAIK"s before we change it again.

As a reference, in Visual Studio (of course, MS could have just messed 
up, but it's kind of the only reference I have right now) I see this 
when I build:

Build log was saved at "file://c:\dir1\dir2\dir3\BuildLog.htm"

When I paste that into Firefox, it's changed to:

file:///c:/dir1/dir2/dir3/BuildLog.htm

So 3 slashes before the drive, and then a slash after the colon.

Which one do we believe? I would tend to believe Firefox, but I'd like 
to have some concrete facts either way...

J-S
