I noticed that we don't expand tildes in Win32 because of the use of
tilde in short versions of long file names:
char *expand_tilde(char **filename){ if (!filename || !(*filename)) return NULL; /* MSDOS uses tilde for
shortversions of long file names, so skip it. */#ifndef WIN32 /* try tilde expansion */ if (**filename == '~')
{
However, I thought the tilde was usually used toward the end of the file
name, not at the beginning. Is this true? Should this code be modified?
