DOS-family networking (netware too I think) uses the UNC convention: \\<servername>\<sharename>[\path] Various parts of *X (including shells) escape characters, using the "\" as the key to flag when escaping is intended, so one has to type "\\" to mean "\". Sometimes, escaping can be done more than once. To avoid this, Samba and attendant software allows "/" to be used interchangeably, in UNC filesystem names. Apart from syntax checkers, OS/2 (and I think Windows) also allows "/" to mean "\" in filesystem names. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaa...@coco.merseine.nu z1aaaa...@coco.merseine.nu -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
