Task

Verify that a file called     input.txt     and   a directory called     docs     exist.



This should be done twice:  

   once for the current working directory,   and
   once for a file and a directory in the filesystem root.


Optional criteria (May 2015):   verify it works with:

   zero-length files
   an unusual filename:     `Abdu'l-Bahá.txt  


(if (probe-file (make-pathname :name "input.txt"))
    (print "rel file exists"))
(if (probe-file (make-pathname :directory '(:absolute "") :name "input.txt"))
    (print "abs file exists"))
 
(if (directory (make-pathname :directory '(:relative "docs")))
    (print "rel directory exists")
    (print "rel directory is not known to exist"))
(if (directory (make-pathname :directory '(:absolute "docs")))
    (print "abs directory exists")
    (print "abs directory is not known to exist"))
