[Dev-C++] Win2K, working directory, bizarre behavior

[Erin M. <em...@po...>]

Hi!  New here, glad to meet y'all.  I spent about 10 minutes browisng the 
archives and didn't find any duplicates of my problem, despite a couple 
related titles.  Background: I run Windows 2000; I use Dev-C++ v.4, the 
9/21/2000 build.

My problem is twofold:

1) When I run my program through the "Execute" command within Dev-C++, it 
refuses to use the working directory I've given it under "Environment 
options," and instead appears to use the directory that Dev-C++ itself 
lives in.  (Consequently, it's unable to find the input file it needs, 
which is in the other directory.)  I have checked the box "run file in same 
directory as executable"; no executable for my program ever appears in the 
Dev-C++ directory.

2) When I run the same program by double-clicking on its executable within 
the proper folder, it runs in that directory as instructed.  When I delete 
this executable and recompile through Dev-C++, it puts the executable right 
back in this proper folder.

Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Thanks,
Erin McMullen
