[cvsnt] Unix Slashes on Temp Drives

[Clipper, Chris]

When at the command prompt I get the following:

C:\cvstemp>mkdir \cvstemp\test1

C:\cvstemp>mkdir /cvstemp/test1
The syntax of the command is incorrect.

C:\cvstemp>mkdir \cvstemp/test1
The syntax of the command is incorrect.

Win2K doesn't seem to like the forward slashes. 

The drive itself has Full Control for Everyone and Network. Is there any
other user group I should add Full Control for?

This is because the user trying to login doesn't have write access to
c:\cvstemp.  NT doesn't care about slashes.
