This utility will give the full path and name of a file specified as argument.
The template is "FILENAME/A".

For example,

cd c:
fullname Dir

might yield:
Work:C/Dir

and

fullname ram:T

might give:
Ram Disk:T

This command may come in handy in script files. I personally use it as a
work-around for a bug in amigaguide display: When I open a guide file that
is neither directly in the current directory nor specified through a full
volume path, i.e. multiview Doc/Enforcer.guide, and click on a guide link,
the link will not be displayed and the error message: "Couldn't open
doc/Enforcer.guide" will appear instead.
So, I use the following alias
alias multiview run <>nil: sys:Utilities/MultiView "*`FullName []*`"
in my Shell-Startup.

The programm and source are in the Public Domain. The source was written
for SASC 6.50, but should easily be adaptable to any compiler.
