22	Incompatibility CDPATH, ash, sh, porting from *nix	andi.b		"Hint for porting *nix software -

There is a known problem with ash or something like because DPATH will have *ix semantics, as will all the other path like environment variables.

I prefer to handle these kinds of requirement locally rather 
than globally. For example, here's a bit from one of my session setup scripts which updates CDPATH for *ix semantics.

if defined CDPATH if ""%@substr[%CDPATH,0,2]"" != "".;"" set CDPATH=.;%CDPATH
