accessing network paths on windows

Hi, is there a way to access a network path like \\myserver\myfolder in rebol, without
creating a map network drive?

Yup.
/computer-name/share-name
You access them the same as if it were a root drive like /c.

... and also ... for conversion you can use to-rebol-file and
to-local-file functions ...

Well, I tried %//myserver/share :)) It's a windows habbit :)
to-rebol-file "\\myserver\share" is also work.
Thanks.

If you have an obscure computer name as I do on my work provided PC and
to save the time it takes to look it up...
; using the windows syntax
>> to-rebol-file join "\\" [form read dns:// "\share-name"]
; using rebol syntax
>> to-file join "/" [form read dns:// "/share-name"]
Where you are automatically retrieving the computer name and converting
it to a string using;
form read dns://
