Viktor,

in OS/2 there is an envvar, LIBPATH=, which always contains '.' and is used by
OS/2 to find needed DLLs; so every program looks at the dirctory it was
started from when looking for .DLLs.

I don't think this is available on MacOSX.

I agree with you here, and with something you wrote later, MacOSX is not
linux, so it is wrong to see it just like a unix dialect with some fancy
window manager.

That said, what about having MacOSX specific commands instead of changing the
ones that work on most the other *nixes?

Maurilio.
