hu...
I didn't try...
but according to my understanding of what you said.
this would never be implemented.

Now if I get this email correctly that should, in fact, work?
mhh... I have to give it a try then!

Could I use a path like that in the GNUstep.conf then:
GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT=./../GNUstep
?

do you think this behavior of:
1. using a GNUstep.conf file (in the same directory as the dlls)
2. specifying path starting with "./"

is here to stay?
