Subject: Create a directory using tex
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 01:30:09 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.WNT.4.63.0608290124590.4060@nqvgln> (raw)

Hi,

  I want to create a macro that writes files in a sub directory. 
If the directory is already created, things work fine. However, if the 
directory is not there, tex complains

! I can't write on file ....

Please type another output file name:

  Is there a way I can ask tex to create a directory if one does not 
exist?

Aditya
