Good point... depending on your system it can have funny ideas about where it "thinks" it's running as opposed to where it actually is. Certainly under ASP on IIS (for example), wherever your script is physically located unless you specifically set otherwise it has a habit of defaulting the current working directory to `C:/windows/system32` (or equivalent). Can lead to a lot of frustrated head scratching before you work that one out :) --- Jay All code is untested unless otherwise stated.
