#7 Wrong Windows 8.3 name passed to diff3.exe

[Roderick Young]

Not a terribly big deal, but I noticed the following:

If the selected directory on the PC is complicated like

C:\Documents and Settings\rwjyoung.AMERICAS\My
Documents\Palm Docs\

Then if the document is updated on the PC, there will be
a call to diff3 to compare the 2 documents.

In the Hotsync log, there will be:

merging: 'remember'(0) <-> 'C:\Documents and
Settings\rwjyoung.AMERICAS\My Documents\Palm
Docs\remember.txt'
---- Diff3 error output (2) ----
/cygnus/CYGWIN~1/H-I586~1/bin/diff.exe:
C:DOCUME~1RWJYOU~1.AMELOCALS~1TempPalm2: No
such file or directory

It seems here that the .AMERICAS part got shortened to
just 3 characters, and possibly that the backslashes got
interpreted at Unix literals, although I'm not so sure of
the latter. I noticed that the 8.3 form of the Windows
name is reported, so maybe diff3 just needs to be called
with stronger quotes on the file name, and with
backslashes converted to forward slashes.

My workaround is to put the Palm documents in a
directory like

C:\PalmDocs

But thought you should know.
