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

ac> This is from the mkdir(2) man page in FreeBSD.  See

ac>      int mkdir(const char *path, mode_t mode);

This is interesting.

The version of MSVC that I use doesn't have a help listing for mkdir() 
but DOS for _mkdir().  Nonetheless, I used mkdir() and there was no 
complaint for the compiler (with full warnings enabled).

#include 

int mkdir( char * DirectoryName);

Does unix have a library called "direct".
