I wouldn't be so sure about that. On win98, in "MS-DOS Prompt" I can type
edit \server\myhome\file.txt
And it opens it just fine.
Similarly, I can type
dir "\server\shared files"
I'm sure the DOS utilities just use long file name APIs and those "simply work". It should be the same for win32 apps.
This is networking stuff, though. Now as far as virtual namespaces go, I have no idea.
Try to go to the temporary internet files folder. Under explorer you see the shortcuts and their location. From dos (do "dir /a") you see just "Content.IE5" and "Desktop.ini" (which is what makes this folder a shell extension).
This involved some {guid} stuff in the name, but I sure doubt that CreateFile would dig that.
It won't. This is a *shell* extension.
Maybe the unix stuff can go under \__unix\something ?
That's an interesting idea, actually. I actually don't think that we need to change anything in wine.
mkdir -p ~/.wine/dosdevices/unc/__unix ln -s / ~/.wine/dosdevices/unc/__unix/root
That should give you a link to the files the way you want them. I'm too out of touch of the thread to figure out whether that solves our problems. If it does, we can just have wineprefix create create this link....
Cheers, Kuba
