If you're talking about using '\' as the path separator, yes, it is always preferable to use '/' instead. However, with Cygwin, there is no reason you cannot use '/' for UNC paths, just like you can with DOS-like paths that Cygwin typically permits (i.e. C:/local/directory).

Thanks very much for the help.

Glad I could help.
