(The original post was encrypted--sorry about that)
I am trying to access files on a networked drive in Windows NT. The
networked drive is:
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared

Find file and file_search give different results:

IDL> print, findfile('\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\*'),
format='(a)'
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\.\
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\..\
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\Test_Data\
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\Test_Data_Migration_Tool\
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\Test_FITS\
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\Test_results\

IDL>

IDL> print, file_search('\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\*'),
format='(a)'

IDL>

I.e, file_search finds no files at all. If I map the networked drive
to a drive letter, e.g. G:, both routines give the same result.

What am I missing about file_search?
