Eli asked me a while ago for a function that
converts UNC to a drv:/path representation.

For what it's worth, here is one. It requires ioctl.c to 
check if a device is remote or not. The strategy is to 
check all possible drive values if they point to a remote drive, then 
do a _truename on the root of that drive and see if it matches to the 
given UNC. The longest match is taken as the result.

I have tested it under NW3.11 with VLM. Maybe someone here has 
another network redirector to check if it works there. XFS drives do 
not use UNCs.
Have a nice weekend.
