Nothing. Your program is probably changing directory just fine; it is
neither a compiler nor library problem.

Only.. under OS/2, the "current directory" is specific to each
process. As soon as you end your program, that process ends and you drop
back to the one waiting on it terminating (ie. the shell), and you're back
to where you started.

The chdir() 'sticking' as it does with MSDOS is actually a peculiarity of MSDOS.
