Don't be silly - there are Unix-y environments where "//" doesn't work the way you think they "should" work. The "//" notation has been used in many shared-filesystem implementations as a hostname or sharename prefix. Please, leave things as they are. The POSIX standard specifically sets aside the leading "//" prefix for just such situations. Just because you've never worked in an environment like this before doesn't mean that the rest of us should be handicapped to accommodate you.. -- Shankar. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
