[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62576] dir() behavior changed in octave 7.1.0 for network drives

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #62576 (project octave):

just noting that in some older versions of either Octave or Windows (I can't
remember specifically which) CMD cannot handle UNC paths. This used to be a
problem in Octave and I had mapped certain network shares to drive letters to
get around this. The expectation was that once something was mapped to a drive
letter one would no longer see the UNC path under any typical usage.

issue highlighted here (but not really explaining which versions it's relevant
in):
