[Metakit] Windows UNC filenames

[mARK bLOORE]

i have used just such a path in the past.  i had no trouble opening
and reading the store.
i did have trouble writing to it; it would become corrupt.  that
problem has been mentioned on this list before.

i haven't tried that is some time, and it was probably with an earlier
version of metakit, and with VC6 on XP.  the remote machines may have
been win2k.
