Bob M, etc.
Attached is BIRD147.4, draft2. Changes are described at the bottom.
Because the file name can include the path, the path discussion (now part of
the file name) seems ok.
Here are some more questions regarding possible contradictions:
----
In BIRD147.4, what is the “absolute” path versus relative path in this
statement?
The contents of the “path string” concatenated into BCI_ID can either be an
absolute path, or a path relative to the current working directory of the
process running the executable model.
The File naming BIRD states:
Absolute files names (e.g. that begin with // or C:) are not permitted.
----
In the File naming BIRD there is a statement:
A “file name” may also be a directory.
In general this should not true and would lead to ambiguity regarding which
file in the directory to use.
The only place I know that this is relevant and legal is under the parameter
Supporting_Files where some of the “file names” can be directories.
Perhaps we need to look at the general statement closer.
----
The example shows in the file name ID the sequence: “ ..”
(BCI_ID (Usage In) (Type String) (Value "../dll_scratch_dir/channel1")
The File Naming BIRD states:
The character sequence “..” is not permitted

Bob, et. al -
"optionally pre-pended with a “path string” in BIRD 147.x now seems
superfluous. (This was originally my language.) It seems like any "file name"
created under Walter's file naming BIRD "section 3" implicitly may also include
the path, which in BIRD147.x is intended.
We could ask whether all present and future "file names" will function as
intended with a path. If not, it is likely important to distinguish the file
naming rules for file names which may and which may not include a path.

All,
Attached is draft1 of a BIRD147.4 change related to the File naming proposal.
The change is described at the bottom.
Does the clause “optionally pre-pended with a “path string”.” apply here when
the expanded file name rules can include a path?
Comments?
