        chdir(new_dir);
        getcwd(new_dir, MAX_PATH_LEN);

It works beatifully, on both VMS and unix.  (And probably DOS, but
I wouldn't bet my life on it.)

   Although I got absolutely zero response to this request, I did find an
   answer.  With the error checking turned off, what I ended up doing was
   approximately this:

           chdir(new_dir);
           getcwd(new_dir, MAX_PATH_LEN);

   It works beatifully, on both VMS and unix.  (And probably DOS, but
   I wouldn't bet my life on it.)

Works fine in DOS too.  The only wrinkle I add to it is error checking
for nonexistent path and preserve the original path.
