	United States Patent Application: 0050044075 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		A computer-readable medium, having computer-executable components, comprising: a data stature including variable/value mappings; a pathname resolver configured to identify a variable in a pathname, to retrieve from the data structure a value associated with the identified variable, and to modify the pathname such that the variable is replaced with the value from the data structure.
		A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions comprising: receiving a pathname that includes a variable; resolving the pathname by mapping the variable to a corresponding value in a data structure; returning a handle to an object pointed to by the resolved pathname; and expanding the data structure by adding variable/value pairs to the data structure.
		The pathname resolver is configured to identify a variable in a pathname, to retrieve from the data structure a value associated with the identified variable, and to modify the pathname such that the variable is replaced with the value from the data structure.

	What is pathname? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		Every file has a name, called a filename, so the simplest type of pathname is just a filename.
		If you specify a filename as the pathname, the operating system looks for that file in your current working directory.
		The pathname always starts from your working directory or from the root directory.

	Class: Pathname
		Pathname represents a pathname which locates a file in a filesystem.
		Pathname#+ appends a pathname fragment to this one to produce a new Pathname object.
		Returns the children of the directory (files and subdirectories, not recursive) as an array of Pathname objects.

	Java 2 Platform SE v1.3.1: Class File
		The conversion of a pathname string to or from an abstract pathname is inherently system-dependent.
		When a pathname string is converted into an abstract pathname, the names within it may be separated by the default name-separator character or by any other name-separator character that is supported by the underlying system.
		The canonical pathname of a file that resides on some other machine and is accessed via a remote-filesystem protocol such as SMB or NFS may or may not begin with one of the roots returned by this method.

	RFC 1037 (rfc1037) - NFILE - a file access protocol
		These pathnames must be fully defaulted, in the sense that they have a directory and file name (and file type, if the server operating system supports file types).
		pathname is the pathname of the link to be created; target-pathname is the place in the file system to which the link points.
		The arguments pathname and to-pathname and the return values from- pathname and to-pathname are strings in the full pathname syntax of the server host.

	XBIT - Comb widget specifications
		A pathname of a combined-widget identifies the parent widget of all the internal sub-widgets.
		The second element pathname is the pathname of the sub-widget, the third element class is the class name of the widget and the last element of the list is the configuration optoins of that sub-widget.
		Notice that, a pathname that identifies a combined widget, also identifies a generic Tk widget, which is the root of all the offspring sub-widgets.

	LEARN THE NET: Glossary: Pathname
		A pathname indicates the location of a particular file or directory by outlining the route or "path" from the host name (if the file resides on a remote server) through the directory structure to the desired file name or directory name.
		An absolute pathname provides the full path (address) of a file, including the computer system, directories, and subdirectories (if any) it resides in.
		Relative pathnames are used to describe a file or directory location on the user's system relative to the user's current location on the system (i.e., based on which level of the directory structure the user is in).

		The argument may be a pathname a string or symbol or a stream; the result is always a pathname.
		If the given pathname explicitly specifies a host and does not supply a device then if the host component of the defaults matches the host component of the given pathname then the device is taken from the defaults; otherwise the device will be the default file device for that host.
		The pathname argument may be a pathname a string or symbol or a stream that is or was open to a file.

	CLHS: Function PATHNAME
		If the pathspec designator is a stream, the stream can be either open or closed; in both cases, the pathname returned corresponds to the filename used to open the file.
		pathname returns the same pathname for a file stream after it is closed as it did when it was open.
		If the pathspec designator is a file stream created by opening a logical pathname, a logical pathname is returned.

	pathname - FOLDOC Definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The path is usually specified by listing the nodes top-down, separating the directories by the pathname separator ("/" in Unix, "\" in MS-DOS).
		A pathname may be an absolute pathname or a relative pathname.
		The part of the pathname of a file after the last separator is called the basename.

	Practical: A Portable Pathname Library
		Pathnames provide a useful API for manipulating names as names, but when it comes to the functions that actually interact with the file system, things get a bit hairy.
		The root of the problem, as I mentioned, is that the pathname abstraction was designed to represent filenames on a much wider variety of file systems than are commonly used now.
		Unfortunately, by making pathnames abstract enough to account for a wide variety of file systems, Common Lisp's designers left implementers with a fair number of choices to make about how exactly to map the pathname abstraction onto any particular file system.

	File (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)
		URI that is created in a virtual machine on one operating system is converted into an abstract pathname in a virtual machine on a different operating system.
		On Microsoft Windows systems, a relative pathname is made absolute by resolving it against the current directory of the drive named by the pathname, if any; if not, it is resolved against the current user directory.
		If it can be determined that the file denoted by this abstract pathname is a directory, then the resulting URI will end with a slash.

	Tk Built-In Commands - text manual page (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Marks may be manipulated with the ``pathName mark'' widget command, and their current locations may be determined by using the mark name as an index in widget commands.
		PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the text widget's path name.
		This command is typically associated with mouse motion events in the widget, to produce the effect of dragging the text at high speed through the window.

	compile-file-pathname
		The defaults for the output-file are taken from the pathname that results from merging the input-file with the value of default-pathname-defaults, except that the type component should default to the appropriate implementation-defined default type for compiled files.
		If input-file is a logical pathname, it is translated into a physical pathname as if by calling translate-logical-pathname.
		compile-file-pathname returns the same pathname after a file is closed as it did when the file was open.

	logical-pathname-translations
		If host is a string that has not been previously used as a logical pathname host, a new logical pathname host is defined; otherwise an existing host's translations are replaced.
		If to-wildcard coerces to a logical pathname, translate-logical-pathname will perform repeated translation steps when it uses it.
		host is either the host component of a logical pathname or a string that has been defined as a logical pathname host name by setf of logical-pathname-translations.

	RFC 615 (rfc615) - Proposed Network Standard Data Pathname syntax
		Network Working Group D. Crocker (UCLA-NMC) Request for Comments: 615 MAR 74 NIC #21531 Proposed Network Standard Data Pathname Syntax There seems to be an increasing call for a Network Standard Data Pathname (NSDP); that is, a standardized means of referring to a specific location for/of a collection of bits somewhere on the Network.
		Case is irrelevant to the syntax, though some sites will care about case in fields: indicates what part of the pathname the next is going to refer to: The single-character keys are abbreviations for the respective full-word keys: ARE order dependent, but defaulted ones may be omitted.
		For example, adding Version number or Access protection as standard fields would be difficult: It is suggested that human interfaces be built to translate to/from NSDP syntax and the user's standard environment.

		The pathname is just that - a pathname - it tells you where the target file/directory is in relationship to the "root" (the drive letter that has the file).
		The only way to dispense with a long pathname is to move/copy files to a directory closer to root.
