For what it's worth. Here's a patch to zip that fixes the behaviour
with regard to dos path names. It deals with two issues: -
backslashes are converted to slashes,
- drive names are stripped when converting an absolute to relative
path.
you are my personal hero.
i would love to test out your patch... i get the digest form of
cygwin though, so if there was an attachment, it got chopped. would you
mind sending me a copy?
i appreciate this effort you have taken immensely... i stand by my
offer to look at glob() though (pending the escape of the latest release
at the office); perhaps the approach from the patch can be easily
reused, so this makes me double happy.
thanks,
fred.
