Another useful VCL/CLX function is ForceDirectories() which will attempt
to create all the directories in a path.

The Help says:

bool __fastcall ForceDirectories(AnsiString Dir);
ForceDirectories creates a new directory as specified in Dir, which must 
be a fully-qualified path name. If the directories given in the path do 
not yet exist, ForceDirectories attempts to create them.
