NAME

FileJoin - Combines directory/file names in correct format for current platform.

SYNOPSIS

FileJoin name1 name2 ...

DESCRIPTION

This prcedure is basically an interface to the Tcl file join command. The input is two or more directory names, and the final name may be a file name. These are combined using the correct path separator for the current platform. Unlike the file join command this procedure will handle if the first argument is an environment variable (e.g. $FOO) or a reference to a user's home directory (e.g. ~fred). For example: 

FileJoin $CCP4I_top tasks  fft.tcl

  will return (on a Unix platform)

/usr/local/bin/ccp4/ccp4i/tasks/fft.tcl
