Linux links in Windows

[Fabian Cenedese]

Hi

I have a question about the standard drive/directory. I think there were
some changes recently so I don't know the current state. I'm still on
20040408 as we needed to freeze and test the source.

I have a process which changes the current dir and then starts a new
program with CreateThread. But this one is back in the old dir again.
Shouldn't it inherit the current dir of the starting process? Is this already
in the current wine?

Thanks

bye  Fabi

Now reading it again there's something I forgot to tell :)

It works if the working dir is a real dir. But it doesn't if it is a symlink
to another place, then the cwd of the new process is like the old one
before the change.

I have (old-style config):
[Drive C]
"Path" = "%HOME%/.wine/fake_windows"

And in there is a link to another directory. Altough the _chdir into this
linked dir reports success it doesn't seem to work.

And wcmd doesn't see the link either (C:>dir).

Thanks
