Subject: Re: Ocra: "Failed to create directory"

Just to be clear, the following runs correctly after compiling:

puts Dir.pwd
olddir = Dir.pwd
dir = "d:\\"
Dir.chdir(dir)
puts Dir.pwd
Dir.chdir(olddir)
puts Dir.pwd
puts "script complete"


whereas this code does not run correctly after compiling.

puts Dir.pwd
olddir = Dir.pwd
dir = "d:\\"
Dir.chdir(dir)
puts Dir.pwd
puts "script complete"
