If "Olympus" is the host name I assume that usually you would access it
via the UNC path name "\\Olympus\stuart\test.sxc", right?
So the correct URL would be "file://Olympus/stuart/test.sxc".
The URL schema is
"file://hostname/Path/filename.extension"
In case of local files "hostname" is empty and so you get the well-known
three slashes as in "file:///d:/stuart/test.sxc".
Please mind that OOo can't cope with host names containing underscores
(as this is not conforming to relevant RFCs) that will change in OOo2.3.
Ciao,
Mathias
