There is an exception to the path mangling for //unc/paths, if that's
what you mean.
>From [1]:
if (path[0] == '/' && path[1] == '/')
{
int tidx = 2;
while (spath[tidx] && spath[tidx] == '/')
tidx++;
if (strchr (&spath[tidx], '/'))
{
retpathcpy (spath);
}
else
{
retpathcpy (&spath[1]);
}
return ScrubRetpath (retpath);
}
I haven't tested, since I don't have easy access to a Windows test
