I stand corrected.  The UNIX-like utilities which come with the Microsoft
Resource Kit for Windows NT (1995 version) do not support the //D/ syntax. 
Those that are part of the gnu-win32 toolset do.

I do find it convenient, however to use the mount command.  E.g., I have
mounted V:\win32ada as /win32ada, so that path names embedded in scripts,
or in environment variable values can be drive-independent.

Thanks for pointing out my error.
