Attempts to resolve its argument to a database path.
getFamePath(dbString, stopOnFail = TRUE)A database name understood by the local customizing
function fameLocalPath (if it exists), the name of a file in
the current directory, or the full path name of a database.
If TRUE, stop with an error message if a
readable database cannot be found.
A path to a Fame database or Fame Server specification.
If a local function called fameLocalPath exists, it is called
first on dbString to get a pathname. Otherwise, dbString
is presumed to be the pathname. The pathname is checked for existence
and readability. If there is a white space in the pathname, it is
presumed valid, as that might specifying a Fame Server. Otherwise, if
there is a failure and stopOnFail is TRUE, the function
fails with an error message.
putfame calls this function with stopOnFail = FALSE,
because it normally creates a new database if there isn't one there already.
