I also agree; sorry, I should have said it that way originally. However: what happens in DOS if you use a file name like "@:/a/b/c"? Is this parsed as an invalid file letter, and then rejected, or as a file name that's much like "@_/a/b/c" but just happens to have an colon rather than an underscore? If the former, then surely dirname should not bother to check whether the first character is a letter. _______________________________________________ bug-gnulib mailing list bug-gnulib@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnulib
