Where is my current directory? by Nicstt

Ensure current directory is know, and where it should be.

I wanted a few lines of code that would check directories were correct, regardless of if it was a final program or under development.

Simply:

1. Change the path in the conditional statement to where your B+ or B3D \bin file is loacted.

2. Enter your desired path to use whilst under development.

Occasionally blitz would throw an error when I presumed it was set to working directory, now I know it is (well it's not caused me any problems yet).
