Re: failure of new entity resolver on some OS

Hi Norm,

The problem is that a file URL needs to either specify no host or 
specify it as empty, that is you can have either
file:/path
or
file:///path
Otherwise if you write file://c:/etc then c will be interpreated as host 
and thus the unknown host exception.

Hope that helps,
George
