relative texture directory paths

My apologies for not verifying this with the most current version.

I seem to have several older AC3D version installed, and just noticed a problem with texture file paths, in my case the textures are in the .rgb (SGI) format.

On AC3D 8.0.80 paths like ../../tex_dir/texture1.rgb work
On AC3D 8.3.30 and AC3D 8.5.55 these files do not work.

With the later AC3D I can load the the texture from the same file later, and it works with the original object, texture coordinate are also OK, so the problem seems to be related to just finding the file when originally loading the file.

Any information what might have changed, or is it possible that there is some configuration setting which I should change. Using absolute file path would work, but it would break if the whole model hierarchy is moved to a different location.

I am working with Windows version
