Hi,
I don't know if this is a know "feature" of Win98, if it exists in other
windows version, or if it is important. I just discovered that the
following works:
C:\>cd windows\win.ini\..
C:\WINDOWS>
or even:
C:\>cd idonotexist\..
C:\>
It looks like Win98 applies the "\.." before even looking to the directory
structure...
