function godir(fname)
%GODIR  Go to directory where the callee is located.
%   GODIR(FNAME) jumps to the directory in which m-file FNAME is located.
%   This is suitable for programs which saves data to a specific directory
%   with an unspecified name in which there are a m-file located.
%   GODIR will jump back to the directory before the jump.
%
%   Ex:  we have a m-file producing data in the directory in which it
%        is located itself. Then you could write:
%
%      ...
%      godir(mfilename)
%      ...
%      godir
