I am using Kix 3.63 on W2K SP4 and would like to find the drive letter and dir that the script was run from (I am building a CD which could be mounted in any drive).
For all examples: the test.kix is in c:\loginscript
When the test script is in the same dir that I am currently in by using "kix32 test.kix" the result for @Scriptdir is "".
When running it from the root of the drive by using "kix32 loginscript\test.kix" @scriptdir returns "loginscript".
If I leave the current dir of drive C: in loginscript and start the script from drive d: by using "kix32 c:test.kix" I get "c:" as a result.
Apparently @scriptdir returns only what was in front of the script name when it was called and not the actual drive/dir it is in. So my question is...how do I find this information???
If you were to use KiX4.x you would have more options. 3.63 is is very old. If @ScriptDir returns nothing then that means it was run from @CurDir, so then use @CurDir as a second check.
{hmmm.. beat out by Richard)

How can you expect improvements in the 4.22 version to change the past version? We have been trying hard to beat this space/time thingy but still have a few bugs to work out.

Hah! Mad by name, certifiable by nature
You will appreciate that a lot has changed between versions 3.63 and 4.22. There are many new features, and some existing facilities will have been improved.
There may even have been some bug fixes.
For example, way back in version 4.00 RC1:
Quote: Fixed @SCRIPTDIR in UDF's and in Execute().
You may view the change to @SCRIPTDIR as either an enhancement or a bug-fix.
