Hi Jan,

I just stumbled across this:

Welcome to SWI-Prolog (Multi-threaded, 32 bits, Version 5.9.7)
1 ?- consult('//ad001.siemens.net/dfs001/File/DE/bwga024a_ts_ra_rd_wst/WST3/pdelta.pro').
% //ad001.siemens.net/dfs001/File/DE/bwga024a_ts_ra_rd_wst/WST3/pdelta.pro compiled 0.02 sec, 66,496 bytes
true.

but

Welcome to SWI-Prolog (threaded, 32 bits, version 9.0.4)
?- consult('//ad001.siemens.net/dfs001/File/DE/bwga024a_ts_ra_rd_wst/WST3/pdelta.pro').
ERROR: source_sink `'//ad001.siemens.net/dfs001/File/DE/bwga024a_ts_ra_rd_wst/WST3/pdelta.pro'' does not exist

Cheers!

I see. Got the syntax for \\?\UNC\Server\path wrong :frowning: Pushed a fix. Tested under VirtualBox using Windows 11 where you can access shared folders using a UNC path. Didn’t work before, works now.
