And now he deleted my reply to f0dder as well, giving the reason
"Discussing undocumented APIs is a good way to get a comment deleted"
and he closed the blog entry for further commenting. Nice guy.
I don't quite understand the difference between my comments and the
other comments.
Apart from that I don't understand his weird replies about 0% and 100%
correctness. Well, I'm not interested in COM anyway. And if COM
changes the CWD it's broken by design. But I guess that's not allowed
to say, either...
