OK, but for what is the PWD search for? do you have more infor on it? it
does not seem to search for ANT_HOME at least.

I now well understand that you love win32 batch scripts. It is quite clear.
I will *try* to take a look at them. But, what if I provide nice wsh
(Windows Scripting Host) scripts? they are a lot more powerfull and thought
to replace old dos-style batchs. I would be a lot more motivated in writting
such scripts. If my memory serves well, WSH is installed by default on any
98/2K/ME/XP box. For 95, I do not remember if you need to install it
yourself or if 95b had it installed by default. Anyway, this "OS" is quited
well aged.
Cheers,
Sacha
