Hello
I have a related question (concerning PV-Wave on a unix system): Is there a
way to expand the filename ~/my/path/to/data to the correct path in the call
to findfile()? This kind of filename works for all file commands but not for
findfile(). This a behaviour which is not very convenient since one has to use
absolute paths instead paths relative to the user home directory, causing
severe problems with portability.
Cheers
Martin
