Thanks for the suggestion, but i was already familiar with Win/DOS URI syntax for local files:
file:///d|/somedir/afile.htm
file:///d:/somedir/afile.htm
What i'm trying to do is use Links as an external viewer from my TUI shell, and that only supplies standard DOS syntax (for example: d:\path\filename.ext) when it passes command-line parameters to an external.
> or c:/somedir/afile.htm
Ahhh, thanks for the "/" tip! It works... as long as the entire path from the root is specified, as in:
links d:/somedir/afile.htm
So that's a step closer than the URI syntax, but it still won't help relative paths like:
links d:afile.htm
Unfortunately (as above), my shell program uses only "\" characters when supplying path info, so i guess i'm SOL... unless i can find the "/" chars internally in LINK.EXE's path strings and hack them into "\" chars.
I guess i'll give it a try and report back. But it's a big .EXE file....
