No more //c

[frederick.page@amb-informatik.de]

Hi there,

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2001/msg00109.html says
about the upcoming changes in Cygwin 1.3.3:

Briefly, the problem with using //x to refer to drive x is that it
clashes with Windows' use of // to denote a network share.  So a system
called 'x' on your network was previously inaccessible to cygwin.


I'm not sure, whether this new change is necessary at all: to my
understanding, Windows uses the non-standard backslash, a network
share would be noted here as \\Sharename (and *not* //Sharename).

Am I missing something?

Kind regards    Frederick
