From: "George K. Thiruvathukal" <gkt@math.luc.edu>
Is it possible, other than by using system(...), to perform various file
and directory manipulation functions on the Unix platform?...
The usual solution is indeed a call to system(). Chdir is implemented
in Icon as a special case because it can't be done by calling system().
There is an extended version of Icon ("Unicon") with additional calls; see
http://www.drones.com/unicon/
for details.
