No, only relative paths.  That is, the leading root/drive designation is
automatically stripped when the files are added to the archive.

SLB> As to ``rm *'',

I belive that Gnus uses 'rm *' in that directory, but I am not certain.
I know that it does not do 'rm -rf *', where the -r should recursively
delete and -f to force deletion of files, including directories.  Yes,
this is potentially quite dangerous.
