A week or so ago I asked about finding out the default directory from
within a program, and finding the current default directory of another
porcess.
My very hearty thanks to those who responded to me, I appreciate the time
taken very much.
SYS$SETDDIR will return, as the third argument, the current default
directory, simple enough.
The second question is rather harder. I still haven't found where in P1
space, if it is there at all, the current default directory of a process
is. I suppose I could write an AST to execute in the context of the other
process and just get the results from the setddir, but that's messy...come
to think of it, any answer to this will be messy, raised IPL, kernel mode
and all, ugh! If anybody has a routine to show the current directory of
another process, I'd trade a pizza for a copy.
