  10.  Hey everyone. Does anyone know why something like this doesn't work?
  11.  
  12. main()
  13.   {
  14.   FILE  *in;
  15.  
  16.   if ( in = fopen ("~/.friends", "r")) == NULL )
  17.     printf ("Put the stupid file there\n");
  18.   else
  19.     ;
  20.     /*  Whatever */
  21.   }
  22.  
  23.  The problem I'm having is that it won't find the file. If I put just
  24. ".friends" and run it in the same directory, it's fine... What am I doing
  25. wrong?
  26.  
  27.  Thanks
  28.    Dave
