/*
 * PathSys.h - OS specific pathnames
 *
 * Public classes:
 *
 *	PathSys - a StrBuf with virtual path manipulations
 *
 * Public methods:
 *
 *	StrBuf::Set() - set value in local syntax
 *	StrBuf::Text() - get value in local syntax
 *
 *	PathSys::SetCanon() - combine (local) root and canonical path
 *	PathSys::SetLocal() - combine (local) root and local path
 *
 *		If root is empty, local is used.
 *		If local is empty, results are not defined.
 *		Local can begin with relative references.
 *
 *	PathSys::GetCanon() - strip root and return rest as canon
 *	PathSys::ToParent() - strip (and return) last element of path
 *
 * NB: SetLocal() can take "this" as root, but SetCanon() cannot.
 *
 * Static functions:
 *
 *	Create() - returns an appropriate PathSys, given an OS type flag.
 *	GetOS() - returns a string for the OS name
