[ADMB Users] directory where *.par, *.cor, *std etc are created in Linux or Mac, when executable is located other than current directory

[John Sibert]

Hi Yukio,

You can also copy or move your executable in a directory on your PATH. I 
have a bin directory in my home directory into which I copied the 
executable from the "simple" example. I run by simply typing simple at 
the prompt from the directory you want to use.

The following commands
> cd ~/admb/trunk/examples/admb/path-test
> pwd
> which simple
> simple
> ls -l
Produced the following output:
> home/jsibert/admb/trunk/examples/admb/path-test
> /home/jsibert/bin/simple
