Hello all!
	I am writing a piece of code that makes files, open directories in my
HOME directory. All worked well until I changed the name of my HOME dir.
To make the code portable I tried with use of '~' character:

	const char*	filename = "~/file.txt";
	ofstream	 my_file(filename, ios::out);

but this solution does not work.
Have you any suggestion to find the path of the current home directory or
the current user name?

Thanks for any suggestion.
