Opening relative filename in root of current drive (Windows) is broken

Let’s say I have a file c:\Test.txt and I am in subdirectory c:\Somewhere. If I start Cud with cudatext c:\Test.txt or cudatext ..\Test.txt the file is loaded.

If I try to load this with cudatext \Test.txt I get a query whether C:\Somewhere\\Test.txt should be created. The file is not loaded.

It works… but only partly. With no Cud loaded and in x:\somewhere, I do: cudatext \test1.txt and this loads x:\test1.txt. OK. If I now do this: cudatext \test2.txt I get the same messagebox as before telling me that x:\somewhere\test2.txt doesn’t exist. 2nd/1st instance communication trouble, I assume.

Seriously without jokes smiley I don’t know how many things have @Alexey-T for to do, but some times I think that @Alexey-T is looking more for people that can help with Cud or with FP development instead of testers, but is OK I say it with all respect, I can have an idea because my main work is as developer and I know the time that some times one issue/feature can takes to implement or to fix. In my specific case Cud for me is a challenge in an attempt to learn a new language (FP) and all the project one opportunity to join to the Open Source principles, but as all in the life, everything needs time, effort, etc.

I am developer myself. And I would LOVE to help with the development of Cud… but it’s written in FP and I am in no way proficient in Pascal anymore (I was, in another life 😄 ), let alone the intricacies of FP.

If Cud were written in C or C++ I would certainly have created a few patches already, for stuff I think would be good to have. But as it stands, I can’t.

EDIT: Actually, the problem isn’t even that Cud is written in Pascal. I can cobble together some lines of Pascal and though it would take me a lot more time than it would @Alexey-T I would be able to do it (thanks to Google and stackexchange 😄 ). The real problem for me is setting up the development environment and all the required components etc. That requires a lot of FP know-how which I simply don’t have.
