 NH> Is there a "standard" way of dealing with directory creation?

mkdir() is POSIX. That's about as standard as you can hope for with this 
kind of function. (Indeed, I'm surprised that something like rename() made 
it into ANSI.) But, you'll still have to use conditional code to make it 
completely portable. Here's mine:


int mymkdir(const char *pathname)
{
#ifdef HAS_UNISTD
        return mkdir(pathname, S_IRWXU);
#else
        return mkdir(pathname);
#endif
}


"HAS_UNISTD", in turn, was defined this way:


#ifndef __TURBOC__
# define HAS_UNISTD
#endif


which allows mymkdir() to work on Borland/Turbo C as well as POSIX systems; 
I can't vouch for any others (e.g., Microsoft). "unistd.h" is the standard 
header for POSIX functions, where they're available.
