As long as the multiple '/' chars are not at the very start of the string then it doesn't matter and one or more are all the same as one. At the very start of the string it is undefined or implementation defined or one of those meaning non-portable because the old Apollo Unix systems used to use it to indicate a network host name. And so POSIX allowed it. And so now Cygwin uses it for the same thing too. But anywhere other than at the start they are all collapsed into one. //hostname/some/path/file <- not portable /some//path////file <- should be portable Bob
