You mention that you have CDPATH set, what is it set to?

I have a CDPATH of UNIX-style directories: .:/w//src/com/pipeline:/w/:/w//src:/w//docs:/w//src/html:/w//src/com/pipelin e/ab m:/w//src/com/pipeline/ad:/w//src/com/pipeline/addrbk:/w//src/com/pipeline/a dmin :/w//src/com/pipeline/aio:/w//src/com/pipeline/alert:/w//src/com/pipeline/ap plic ations:/w//src/com/pipeline/awt:/w//src/com/pipeline/bom B20.1 must have recognized that w:/ is an absolute path while 1.1.4 doesn't think so. And somehow "." in CDPATH triggers the problem. Try this: export CDPATH=/c:/d cd d:/ then try: export CDPATH=/c:/d:. cd d:/ The question is why does adding "." to CDPATH cause "d:/" to be interpreted as a relative path? - Erik -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
