From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: frederick.page@amb-informatik.de To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: No more //c Date: Thu, 06 Sep 2001 03:09:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2001-09/msg00247.html Hi there, http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2001/msg00109.html says about the upcoming changes in Cygwin 1.3.3: Briefly, the problem with using //x to refer to drive x is that it clashes with Windows' use of // to denote a network share. So a system called 'x' on your network was previously inaccessible to cygwin. I'm not sure, whether this new change is necessary at all: to my understanding, Windows uses the non-standard backslash, a network share would be noted here as \\Sharename (and *not* //Sharename). Am I missing something?
