Often it is preferable to use relative paths, and many Windows run-times (o=
r perhaps Windows itself) understand "../../name", so you can do much with =
Unix-like relative paths. For calling an executable in current directory in=
 Unix you need, IIRC, "./myprog"; this command should do the job on Windows=
 as well. And observe the casing in order to have it running on Unix or Lin=
ux.
With some trial-and-error you may find a comfortable common denominator.
