Summary: It works, but is it STYLISH?

I've been toying with ways to make the `HOME' directory for a pile of software
a little more portable and the following sure beats the method where you
effectively get -> sprintf(buf,"%s/afile","/usr/me"); fopen(buf,"r"); <- but
it sure does LOOK wierd!

----- cut here -----
#define FOO "/usr/me

stream = fopen(FOO/afile","r");
----- ereh tuc -----

It works, mostly because file names are "divided" as they are, but is it
stylish?!  Any takers?  Peter?

Thanks!
Jon
