-On Apple Macintosh systems, Tcl supports two forms of path names.  The
-normal Mac style names use colons as path separators.  Paths may be
-relative or absolute, and file names may contain any character other
-than colon.  A leading colon causes the rest of the path to be
-interpreted relative to the current directory.  If a path contains a
-colon that is not at the beginning, then the path is interpreted as an
-absolute path.  Sequences of two or more colons anywhere in the path
-are used to construct relative paths where \fB::\fR refers to the
-parent of the current directory, \fB:::\fR refers to the parent of the
-parent, and so forth.

-In addition to Macintosh style names, Tcl also supports a subset of
-Unix-like names.  If a path contains no colons, then it is interpreted
-like a Unix path.  Slash is used as the path separator.  The file name
-\fB\&.\fR refers to the current directory, and \fB\&..\fR refers to the
-parent of the current directory.  However, some names like \fB/\fR or
-\fB/..\fR have no mapping, and are interpreted as Macintosh names.  In
-general, commands that generate file names will return Macintosh style
-names, but commands that accept file names will take both Macintosh
-and Unix-style names.
