It works only with a trick.
On Dos, the program creates a batch file which is then executed by the calling
batchfile,

In bash or any unix shell, it is done using a script function; 

the reason this is so is exactly because there is _no way_ to set the 
working directory of another process programatically.

So this is no good.
