uniform naming convention
     
         unc used in ibm pc networking to completely
        specify a directory on a file server.
     
        the basic format is:
     
        	\\servername\sharename
     
        where "servername" is the hostname of a network file server,
        and "sharename" is the name of a networked or shared
        directory.  note this is not the same as the conventional
        ms-dos "c:\windows" directory name.  e.g.
     
        	\\server1\dave
     
        might be set up to point to
     
        	c:\users\homedirs\dave
     
        on a server called "server1".
     
        it is possible to execute a program using this convention
        without having to specifically link a drive, by running:
     
        \\server\share\directory\program.exe
     
        the undocumented dos command, truename can be used to find
        out the unc name of a file or directory on a network drive.
