The current directory is considered part of the current operating
environment,  so a child program can not change the current dir of the
parent.  That it worked the other way under DOS was a deficiency many
programs took advantage of;  you'll be hard pressed to find any other
modern OS that works this way.

Programs like XCD (Norton NCD clone) work by having a batch file call the
program,  which creates another batch file (or modifies the original) which
is called after the program exits.
