Exactly. Perhaps a shell namespace extension would be nice though. I 
don't know what exactly those are, but at least it makes a great buzz 
word :-).

Anyways: I already implemented it (as you perhaps saw) using UNIX api 
calls. I think I did OK, though I am not very experienced in neither C 
programming or win32. Mike, perhaps you could take a look at my patch?

It is not perfect yet (for example: folder icons are missing in UNIX 
browsing) but at least people can happily select a UNIX path now from 
winecfg and that was the main point :-).

Regards,
Robert
