/*************************************************************************
* RootPath -- Convert a pathname argument to root based cannonical *
* form. *
* Author: Don A. Williams *
* CompuServ - 75410,543 *
* Genie - DON-WILL *
* *
* RootPath determines the current directory, appends the path argument *
* (which may affect which disk the current directory is relative to), *
* and qualifies "." and ".." references. The result is a complete, *
* simple, path name with drive specifier. *
* *
* If the relative path the user specifies does not include a drive *
* spec., the default drive will be used as the base. (The default drive *
* will never be changed.) *
* *
* entry: RelativePath -- pointer to the pathname to be expanded. *
* FullPath -- must point to a working buffer, see warning. *
* *
* exit: FullPath -- the full path which results. *
* *
* return: A pointer to FullPath if OK, NULL if an error occurs. *
* *
* calls: getcurdir getdisk *
* *
* warning: FullPath must point to a working buffer large enough to *
* hold the longest possible relative path argument plus *
* the longest possible current directory path. *
* *
* RootPath was modeled after the public domain file "rootpath.c" with *
* fairly extensive "enhancement". The major enhancement is provision *
* for relative paths such as "..\..\here" which MS-DOS does NOT *
* support. I found that such a construct would be very handy in *
* several of my uses of UFIND so I added it. Provision has also been *
* made to handle either of the two element name separator characters; *
* the '\' of MS-DOS or the '/' of Unix. The MS-DOS facilities actually *
* recognize either separator at the programmatic level but too many *
* MS-DOS programs do NOT. *
* *
