.ih
SYNOPSIS
.nf
zfxdir (osfn, osdir, maxch, status)

char	osfn[ARB]		# OS filename
char	osdir[maxch]		# OS directory prefix
int	maxch, status
.fi
.ih
DESCRIPTION
The OS directory prefix, if any, is extracted from the OS filename
and returned as \fIosdir\fR.
.ih
RETURN VALUE
ERR is returned if the output string overflows.  If \fIosfn\fR is null
or does not contain a directory prefix a status of zero is returned,
otherwise the number of characters in the output string is returned.
If there is no directory prefix the null string is returned in \fIosdir\fR.
.ih
NOTES
This routine is normally written in SPP since it does not communicate with
the host system.  Character string arguments are therefore not packed.
