Olin Shivers 5/90 ;; - Background failed to set the process buffer's working directory ;; in some cases. Fixed. Olin 6/14/90 ;; - Background failed to strip leading cd's off the command string ;; after performing them. This screwed up relative pathnames. ;; Furthermore, the proc buffer's default dir wasn't initialised ;; to the user's buffer's default dir before doing the leading cd. ;; This also screwed up relative pathnames if the proc buffer already ;; existed and was set to a different default dir. Hopefully we've ;; finally got it right. The pwd is now reported in the buffer ;; just to let the user know. Bug reported by Piet Van Oostrum. ;; Olin 10/19/90 ;; - Fixed up the sentinel to protect match-data around invocations. ;; Also slightly rearranged the cd match code for similar reasons. ;; Olin 7/16/91 ;; - Dec 29 1995: changed for new stuff (shell-command-switch, second ;; arg to shell-command --> BUFFER-NAME arg to background) from ;; FSF 19.30.
