I saw that //server/share/folder/filename.ext (with foeward
slashes)worked OK, even on Windows. Wasn't it in one of your posts? So

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 - Jan 19)
You are conservative and afraid of taking risks. You don't do
much of anything and are lazy. There has never been a Capricorn of any
importance. Capricorns should avoid standing still for too long as
they take root and become trees.
