Version Beta 20.1 NT 4.0.
If you mount a directory, the backslashes are removed in the win registry,
e.g. mount c:\foo\bar\bin /xxx creates the following registry entry:
c:foobarbin.

Actually, I think what you are seeing is the shell removing the
escape characters (\) from the command line before mount
ever sees it.
Try
echo c:\foo\bar\bin
then try
echo c:\\foo\\bar\\bin

Doug

Yep, that's the way character quoting works. Try `mount c:\\foo\\bar\\bin
/xxx' and you'll have it correct.
