you may find that it already supports UNC pathnames (since you must have
used Delphi's TFileStream or similar things). The real problem is that
it will work only with files that are *accessible* (or is that spelled
"accessable"?) from the server, which basically means remote TCP
connections are out.
Nonetheless, I find it an useful thing.
