Hello.

Probably not that difficult - I wrote a library to transparently mount UNC
paths to drive letters, called unc_fsx. It's here:

http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/mysoft.html#unc_fsx

It was a bit of a hack, because it directly modifies filenames. However,
it was written for DJGPP 2.01, so perhaps this hack can be hidden using
FSEXT's [get|set] data functions. I haven't had time to modernise it yet.

HTH, bye,
