Here is a short question. If I have a line of code as follows:

	stream=fopen("c:\foo\afile", "r")

The resulting executable works if afile is in the same directory
as the executable. If the above is correct the fopen command
should be able to find afile independant of where the executable
lives. But that does not seem to be the case. What am I doing wrong?
BTW, I am using borland c++ 3.1
Thanks in advance
