I'm trying to find out how to specify a filename as not to be
drive/directory specific. In other words, if someone puts the executable in
[xfolder] and I have established a branch directory for data, it will look
in [xfolder]\data. Like so:

LoadPic ("\data\example.pic", ...);

So I won't have to be installation directory/drive specific, like

LoadPic ("c:\myprogs\theprog\data\example.pic", ...);

I've tried unix slashes and double slashes and double unix slashes and
normal slashes. ???
