CP/M and MS-DOS 1.0 have *some* concept of a "current directory", only in
those cases, it's the "current drive" (each drive having just one top level
directory). For those, you can simply return just the drive specification:
A:
B:
etc
MS-DOS 2.0 and higher does have a concept of a "current directory" in
addition to a "current drive".
For operating systems that don't even have a concept of a "current drive"
can simply return an empty string.
