This may be part of a problem I already fixed in a redirector I am
working on.  

ALL the microsoft windows/runtime windows programs depend upon 100 being
returned from the get current directory call. (At least that's what I can
recall.  I will have to check at work.)

There are lots of programs out there which INCORRECTLY depend upon the results
of a DOS INT 21.  Get attribute is another where Windows 3.0 FILE MANAGER wants
the attirbutes in AX and CX when AX is the only documented return.
