Essentially, the tests are using paths like "/foo/bar" for absolute paths. But, Windows looks at this and says this isn't absolute, it is relative. IMHO, that means that these functions are less useful than I originally thought. I had hoped that we could pass a common string into these functions, and the functions would handle the OS-level information. I realize that is hard to do with drive letters, but my question remains, is the test wrong, or is the code wrong????? Ryan
