- Short: Gives full path and name of a file

- Type: util/cli
-
- This utility will give the full path and name of a file specified as argument.
- The template is "FILENAME/A".
-
- For example,
-
- cd c:
- fullname Dir
-
- might yield:
- Work:C/Dir
-
- and
-
- fullname ram:T
-
- might give:
- Ram Disk:T
-
- This command may come in handy in script files. I personally use it as a
- work-around for a bug in amigaguide display: When I open a guide file that
- is neither directly in the current directory nor specified through a full
- volume path, i.e. multiview Doc/Enforcer.guide, and click on a guide link,
- the link will not be displayed and the error message: "Couldn't open
- doc/Enforcer.guide" will appear instead.
- So, I use the following alias
- alias multiview run <>nil: sys:Utilities/MultiView "*`FullName []*`"
- in my Shell-Startup.
-
- The programm and source are in the Public Domain. The source was written
- for SASC 6.50, but should easily be adaptable to any compiler.
