Sometimes you gotta interact with the file system and when you do
things can get messy. File systems are dependent upon the operating
system and since operating systems will handle things in different
ways it can be hard to write code that will work on all platforms.
Luckily PLT Scheme provides some functions to do platform independent
manipulation of directory and file paths.
ToDo: the above is leftover from OriginalCookbook. Perhaps integrate into FileAndDirectoryRecipes? chapter, e.g. via FileAccess?.
