Sure you can hard code an alternative, by changing:

            MMap map = new MMap("test1.mmc");

to

            MMap map = new MMap("Y:\\Maps\\test1.mmc");

...for example.

But then the code has to be re-compiled if the directory structure of project changes, and the maps are moved to a different location.

An alternative is to read an operating system variable, and append to that, the sub folder (if required) and name of the map.

I have executed:

set maproot=y:\maps

...and then the enclosed example, produces:

Map status: Map completed successfully (0)

...if the maps and input file are located in the Y:\Maps\ directory.

The key lines changed are:

        String value = System.getenv("MAPROOT");

and

            MMap map = new MMap(value+"\\Test1.mmc");

You could always use this technique to grab the map suffix (.aix, .lnx, .sun etc) from an environment variable.

Thank-you.
