'this function combines a path and filename, correctly handling
'paths with or without an ending \. It does not check the validity
'of the resulting merged string.
'Note: the PowerBASIC PathName$ function can separate fullpath parts
'Primary Code:
Function MergePathParts(pName As String, fName As String) As String
Select Case Right$(pName, 1) 'check pathname for slash ending
Case "\"
MergePathData = pName & fName
Case Else
MergePathData = pName & "\" & fName
End Select
End Function
