Dear all:

Does anyone know how to locate the application's home directory? Since the
application can be called anywhere, I can use paths like
"./data/datafile.txt" to reference a particular file's location. Rather I
want to know the exact path such as /home/myapp/data/datafile.txt" instead.
Is there a method that can retreive the application's home directory?

Thank you
Ken Kwok
