When starting ANY viewer from mosaic for Microsoft Windows (alpha 6) I
have a problem:

Mosaic places the temporary file in e:\sharewar\mosaic but launches
the viewer with path d:

If it matters, I installed mosaic in e:\sharewar\mosaic and my windows
directory is d:\windows.

For example, when I try to view a file map.gif, mosaic creates a file
e:\sharewar\mosaic\#map.gif.  It then starts my gif viewer with file
spec d:#map.gif.  Naturally, the viewer doesn't display anything.

A typical path in my mosaic.ini file would be
     gif="g:\pstyler2\pstyler %lf"
or something.  Actually, I just used the format provided in the mosaic
distribution.  I didn't try anything fancy.

Any suggestions?
