hello all
---------
there is a need to creating "cd..." or "set def..." with boost "filesystem" 
and make it transparent to windows\linux.

there is a need to create one line of "filesystem" command.

i don't know if there is a "wish list" or "to do list for a future 
version" - but it is needed - and sooner the better.

today we have (for windows):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include "stdafx.h"

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

#include <atlstr.h>

int main(void)
{
  FILE *fp;
  CString dir = L"D:/schmidt26_cpp/mpi/debug";    // construct from a 
LPCWSTR

      //Set the current directory.
    SetCurrentDirectory( dir );

  fp = _popen("DIR", "r");

  if (fp != NULL) {
    char buffer[BUFSIZ];

    while (fgets(buffer, sizeof buffer, fp) != NULL)
      fputs(buffer, stdout);
  }

  return 0;
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and for linux (posix):

#include<stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
   // D:\schmidt26_cpp\mpi\debug
  if(chdir("/home/kot/Desktop") != -1)
    printf("Successfully changed directory to Desktop!\n");
  else printf("Error changing directory!\n");

  /*
  if(fork())
    execl("/usr/bin/xterm", "-e", "/usr/bin/emacs", (char*)0);
  else
    printf("Close the pop-up window first!\n");

  wait(NULL);
  */

  return 0;
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

thank's all.
