IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/) says: 3.266 Pathname A character string that is used to identify a file. In the context of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, a pathname consists of, at most, {PATH_MAX} bytes, including the terminating null byte. It has an optional beginning slash, followed by zero or more filenames separated by slashes. A pathname may optionally contain one or more trailing slashes. Multiple successive slashes are considered to be the same as one slash.
Ahh, that's the reason: It's (another) sloppiness in Unix systems and has creeped into Windows from there. I have never seen such things on Windows systems. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
