Hi
*FilePath> isRelative "c:file" False
this path should be considered as relative, afaik
Certainly some things treat this as relative. But really, its not that relative by other metrics. A relative path in general should be able to be reconstituted by doing currentDirectory x. This does not have that property. The other property you might expect a relative path to have is that changing the current directory changes the path - which is half true, since on Windows there is a current directory per drive, so this relative path may refer to that, or not. Basically, having c:file is REALLY broken from every sensible point of view. If you can give me a "in this real program it needs to be this way because..." then I'll change it. If its more a theoretical concern, then it depends how loud you shout or what the common concensus is. In summary: filepaths are a nightmare. Thanks Neil
