' FUNCTION: IsUNCName
'
' Determines whether the pathname specified is a UNC name.
' UNC (Universal Naming Convention) names are typically
' used to specify machine resources, such as remote network
' shares, named pipes, etc.  An example of a UNC name is
' "\\SERVER\SHARE\FILENAME.EXT".
'
' IN: [strPathName] - pathname to check
'
' Returns: True if pathname is a UNC name, False otherwise
