Summary: Windows can open also \.\COMx\ (see the last back slash) Product: Wine Version: 1.1.30 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: martin@hinner.info
Windows XP can open devices (e.g. a com port) also as \.\COMx\ (see the last back slash), Wine works only with \.\COMx
This is really ugly, but maybe Wine should behave same way...
