# Method to determine absolute path
# The -W parameter on the pwd command is necessary to return the Windows
# version of the path. Not using the -W parameter will result in a conversion
# of temp directory to a 'tmp' path meaningful only in the Linux environment.
# Piping the result through tr '/' '\\' translates the forward slashes to backslashes.
# Windows understands forward slashes, but LVCompare.exe does not.
