Really? Although I haven't tried it, several people already wrote on this list that the workaround is using UNC \\.\ prefix! Sorry, I've no time for integrating that transparently into cygwin DLL! Bye, Heribert (dahms AT ifk20 DOT mach DOT uni-karlsruhe DOT de) - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
