Re: [MACTCL] BUG: file join ?

[Jim I. <ji...@ap...>]

No, this is a relative path.  Absolute paths on the Mac look like:

My Disk:Documents:My File

Tcl has to do some fancy footwork with paths to try to get this right.  
Basically, if we see a path without any colons, we assume it is 
relative, and just a single file name.  If it has any colons at all, 
then if it begins with a colon, it is relative, and otherwise it is 
absolute.  There is some added complexity because we try to also handle 
"unix-looking" paths, but this is how the Mac part works.
