oh lordy... the URLs generated by TOPCAT didn't used to contain the
localhost part in 'file:'-type URLs, but I've done work to insert it
following discussions on this list last month about correctly 
formed URLs, in accordance with RFC 1738.  Now it seems that they 
are not being parsed correctly.

Can you tell me exactly what is failing when trying to handle such URLs?

thanks

Mark
