SUMMARY
In Visual SourceSafe for Macintosh, the working directory is not set through normal means. In SourceSafe Explorer for other platforms, there is a menu option for Set Working Directory. In SourceSafe for Macintosh, which is hosted in MPW, there is no menu option. This article describes how to set the working directory.

NOTE: VSS for the MAC version 5 is manufactured by Metrowerks, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.

MORE INFORMATION
The working directory can be set using any of the following methods:

  Add Force_Dir=Yes to the project section of the .ini file: [$/Project1] Force_Dir=Yes Dir (Mac) = Macintosh hd:ssWork:  Use the Set Directory command in the MPW Directory menu.  Use the -GL switch on commands, such as: ss checkout -GLMacintosh hd:ssWork: 

NOTE: Method 3 will not set the working directory for a project but will copy a file to the specified directory, not to the current or working directory. Note that there is no space after the -GL switch.
