Determining install directory [message #43932]

Hi,

I am writing an application for the IDL Virtual Machine. Some of the
inputs to the application will come from variables that I will store on
the users' hard drives.

Now, assuming that I allow a user to install the app wherever they want
on their system, is there any way to detect where the data directory
is? I assume that it will involve some sort of findfile command, but I
can't seem to work it out.

Also, can the VM distinguish between a windows system and a Unix
system? This will be important so that I can adjust the file calls to
reflect the different file systems.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

-Ian
