« Some DOS-specific file and directory functions are no longer provided in StarOffice 7, or their function is only limited. For example, support for the ChDir, ChDrive and CurDir functions is not provided. Some DOS-specific properties are no longer used in functions that expect file properties as parameters (for example, to differentiate from concealed files and system files). This change became necessary to ensure the greatest possible level of platform independence for StarOffice. » - as of page 54 of "StarOffice 7 Basic Programmer's Guide" cf. http://www.staroffice.com/SO7/so-7-ga-en-BASIC_GUIDE.PDF - 2003 « The functions ChDir and ChDrive, although present in Basic, do nothing and will likely be removed from the language. Their original purpose was to change the current drive and directory, but this was a system wide change, which is dangerous in multitasking environments like we use today. The initial current directory is dependent upon the operating system and how LO was opened. The initial values, therefore, cannot be assumed. » - as of page 172 of Andrew Pitonyak's "OOo Macros Explained v.4" cf. http://www.pitonyak.org/OOME_4_0.odt - 2018 Typo in syntax of Dir Function - add reference to CurDir Change-Id: I3826f953ba24c3bf631cf15357c0717593ead514 Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/help/+/106009 Tested-by: Jenkins Reviewed-by: Olivier Hallot <olivier.hallot@libreoffice.org>
