Well, at least with WIN, it's not necessarily the current directory which is
treated as a virtual disk. The mentioned menu in my previous mail allows you
to select which one is the current directory. Per default, it is the
directory ".", but this can be permanently changed!

Personally, when I'm writing something with cc65, I permanently attach the
virtual drive 11 with the disk the executable is in, so I don't have to
think about it when I want to load something different when I'm not
programming.

Yes, this is a good solution I did not think about.

BTW: The described error that you cannot type-in the dir which has to be the
new virtual disk will be fixed in the new release of VICE, as will be a
related one. I'm currently working on this.

Spiro.
