create directory in OS independent way

[Ralf Hemmecke]

For a given fn of type FileName I cannot simply say

fh := open(fn, "output")

if the folder directory(fn) does not yet exist.
I haven't found any other way than using

systemCommand("system mkdir -p " directory fn)$MoreSystemCommands

. Is there a more OS-independent way to create a directory?

There is a Lisp helper function 'makedir'. Use like:

makedir("foo.dir")$Lisp

ATM there is no Spad wrapper for this.
