[GAP Forum] creating directories

[R.N. Tsai]

"CreateDir()" is the simplest way and it did work on Windows; I'm trying to make my code OS independent so it would be nice if  it is made more official in a future release.Thanks,R.N.

There is an *undocumented* kernel function
  CreateDir()
you could use, but we make no guarantees that it'll stay (but right now, it doesn't seem likely to be removed).

Or you could use IO_mkdir() from the IO package; this one is documented, but rather unix centric, so I am not sure how well it works on Windows, in case you are using that.

Cheers,
Max
