Hiya,

you're right, theres no need for it, it just gets swallowed by the
backticks so i didn't notice.

All we need is the full path in the argument to -d, rather than the
relative path we get at the moment; I believe this will work with all
versions of db2html.

Yup, sadly, its too late for that. I think this is a bug in earlier
db2htmls where it 'forgets' that it has decended into a directory to
make the html and should adjust any relative dir paths accordingly.
Later versions (correctly) fix the bug, so its more of a backwards
compatability issue than having to support a bunch of truly
incompatable versions, AFAICS.

Cheers,
Jon
