current directories

[Eric Pouech]

while looking at the split of kernel and ntdll, I ran into an 
interesting point:
- our current {Get|Set}CurrentDirectory functions behave like the win16 
implementation, and maintain a/ a default drive, b/ a default directory 
on each drive
- Win32, on the other end, just maintains a current directory. When 
using a relative path with a drive letter (like c:foo), win32 actually 
uses the directory on drive c:, defined at startup (and passed into the 
=c: environment variable)
- the =#: (# in [A,Z]) environment variable is never changed (even when 
changing the current directory)

I checked this behavior on Win98 and Win2K.

I'm surprised noone ever run into this bug before (or this is something 
that is known for quite some time ?)

A+
