But even if it is true, I previously said that GetCurrentDirectory() holds the straightforward values set by SetCurrentDirectory(), so we don't have to stick to "PWD" environemt variable that may be different from the value of "PWD". Furthermore, in this view, I think that we MUST NOT use "PWD" environment variable to obtain the current directory because it's never standardized. from himi
