Hello all.

I have "old" binaries compiled with version 1.1.8 and they internally
access in one point a location starting with path //c/usr meaning
WinPath C:\USR. Is there any configuration change which would allow me
to use these binaries in a newer version (1.3.3)?

What I have already tried:

1. Compiling the package again to no avail. It's a Modula-3 compiler from
  http://m3.polymtl.ca/m3/download. Package pm3-1.1.15-src-NT386GNU-boot.tgz 
  worked quite fine in 1.1.8 but I only get strange errors (means I cannot
  correct them) in 1.3.3 (win2k pro). 
  And the package _has to be_ configured with installation path
  of "C:\some\place".

2. Playing with the mount command. I can setup a mount prefix of "/c" for
  the "C-drive" but not "//c".

Is there any workaround for this other than creating a real SMB-share machine
named "c" ?? (no that is not an option for me ;)
