The & is only useful when all of the .cat files are at or below the
directory the .mdl file is in.
>From "Defining Virtual Paths" in the on line help:
A leading "&" on a path name indicates that the path is relative to the
model file or the enclosing controlled unit (if any). For example, suppose
you have created a model:
X:\ordersystem\ordersys.mdl
and a controlled unit:
X:\ordersystem\units\data_serv.cat.
To allow different users to open the model and load the unit in different
workspaces, each user can create a path map:
$CURDIR=&.
When the model is saved, the reference from the model file to the package is
stored as:
$CURDIR\units\data_serv.cat
When the model is opened in another workspace, $CURDIR is expanded to the
physical path to the model in that specific workspace, for example:
Z:\ordersystem.
Note: The "&" requires that the controlled units are located in the same
folder as the model file or in a subfolder to the model file.
Also see "Virtual Path Maps (Overview)" in the on line help.

| We are currently experiencing a problem with CURDIR and being
| set to &. In
| particular to having a controlled unit in a different branch of the
| directory structure. I would like to have a better
| explanation of CURDIR and
| how it works and how it changes when opening the model and
| how/if it changes
| when loading a controlled unit. If someone at Rational could
| let me know or
| a very knowledgeable person. Even if it is a white paper link
| or something
| to start us down the right road.
