On the other hand it doesn't quite align with people's notion of relative paths so people might hate it :-).
Seems to me this approach handles Windows better. There is no single "current directory"; it's one per drive letter (plus one for "default", which might not be a drive letter if you "cd" to a UNC path). It also handles building paths for processes launched somewhere not the current directory, which seems like a big win to me. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
