You obviously need cross-platform filesystem functions - you will
probably need more stuff at some point in the future, and have to hack
it up yourself. The alternative is to use a library which _nicely_
wraps the filesystem, in a cross-platform way.
One such is boost::filesystem - part of the Boost libraries available
from www.boost.org. I would strongly recommend using this (or another
good library) if you are doing cross-platform development. Personally,
I'd feel pretty worried about putting out code that I haven't been able
to test. I'd still feel worried when using boost, but less worried,
because the basic filesystem functions work very well.
Hope that helps,
Dave.
