 I don't think so ... unfortunately my Mac is at home and I'm here at
 the university (w/o Macs :-( ), so I can't test it, but at the
 week-end I wrote a little program testing the 'Find' package. There
 I was wondering how to distinct relative and abolute paths and I
 found the way described in my former posting (as I remember ...).

 BTW, maybe it is not necessary to use a special pathname delimiter;
 I've written a script that traverses a directory tree and it does
 _not_ use 'Find' and it does _not_ check the platform and it
 runs on both MacOS (as a droplet) and UNIX (like a shell script)
 without any changes.


 Bye, Eike
