# Module 'riscospath' -- common operations on RISC OS pathnames.

# contributed by Andrew Clover  ( andrew@oaktree.co.uk )

# The "os.path" name is an alias for this module on RISC OS systems;
# on other systems (e.g. Mac, Windows), os.path provides the same
# operations in a manner specific to that platform, and is an alias
# to another module (e.g. macpath, ntpath).
