FILEINFO always returns the correct fully resolved path (without any
double dots) under Universe on Unix. Maybe this problem only affects
Windows.

The FILEINFO idea is a good one -- but it will not serve.
[SJ] 

Here's one file pointer 
 

PRCPROCESS:

F

PRCPROCESS

D_PRCPROCESS


Here's the other:

DEMO.DOTS:

F

..\PRC\PRCPROCESS

..\PRC\D_PRCPROCESS


They actually do point to the same file.  But the output of FILEINFO IS
THIS:

FILE NAME = DEMO.DOTS,  FILEINFO.PATH =
C:\SJ\REALMS\PRC\..\PRC\PRCPROCESS

FILE NAME = PRCPROCESS, FILEINFO.PATH = C:\SJ\REALMS\PRC\PRCPROCESS


So you wouldn't be able to tell by comparing those that they were the
same.
You still have to resolve the dot business somehow.
