I just confirmed the above in Virtual PC on a Mac G4 a few minutes ago:
If the toplevel of the CD looks like this:
app: Innersearch.exe
folder: Innersearch CD Media
(with many sub folders)
setting the global gRootDir to the stack location and then changing
directory mid-stream and then setting it back to gRootDir later, on the fly
it won't "stick" . .oddly it may work for one call, but then reverts back
to the previously set directory and any file names that want the directory
to be gRootDir are thereafter broken.
But if the topLevel of the CD looks like this:
Folder: Innersearch Documentary
inside of which is:
app: Innersearch.exe
subfolder: Innersearch CD Media
(with many sub folders)
it works fine!
Now if I can only figure out how to burn a CD with the ISO Part to go
"inside" the folder of the mac/shared part. . .
