Can I ask TeX to check if a directory exists or is writable.

I do not think so. And on second thought: not even \write18 will work always, because whether or not TeX can write a file (in a subdir or even in the local directory) depends in part on settings in texmf.cnf that are not visible outside TeX. Cheers, Taco
