16 Oct 2009	Julian	You say that the directory need not exist but I found this not to be the case when using CD myself a while ago to do much the same thing (but less concise than your nice function). Is this correct?
16 Oct 2009	Oliver Woodford	Thanks Julian. To be correct, I should say that every directory except the bottom level file or directory must exist. I.e. only the bottom level directory is allowed to be non-existant.
