was: [filesystem] WIN32 Can not use drive name in directory I found posts on boost-users from January that describe the problem that I am having. Was there ever a resolution to this? Mr. Dawes, you mention a re-work in the next version of the library ( http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2005/01/9607.php ) that would fix this problem. Is that rework complete, or not yet? Should I just use the static version for now and not worry about this problem?
