I recently installed a science program called delta on win2k. My system
has c:\drdos and d:\win2k. The program inserted some variables
in win2k including CDPATH c:\delta I deleted the string as it was
causing problems so can only include part of the original string.

The first symptom something was wrong was when I tried to compile
a program using mingw in d:\tmp and I couldnt cd to a subdir
unless I gave it the full path. Also make failed as it had some cd
commands. At first I thought it was the registry parseauto but
after checking it found it ok. So then I started looking at the
system variables and found the stuff from the delta install.


My question is this:
How should this variable be set and not have unintended consequences?
