Then you misunderstand me.

I intend to ask Steve to add this to PyUnit, under a folder called 
contrib/browser. And I intend to port it to wherever Python & Tkinter go.

To do that I need to remove Pmw, and get these idiotic path issues fixed.

I have been sneakily upgrading those temporary "releases" if I improve them 
but don't add anything radical or contradict the documentation. Please try 
one of these:

	http://flea.sourceforge.net/browser003.zip
	http://flea.sourceforge.net/browser.zip

The latter is my latest bench version - the equivalent of a CVS HEAD.

This has been fixed, test-first. So the tests should reveal that stoopid 
function working with a range of kinds of relative file locations.

I will add this (with the attribution ;-) the next time I'm working on the 
module.

Yeek! You just took it off so we can put it on again! The only reason it's 
there is to hard-code the [1:] two lines down!

Translation: It works by checking the inode; Windowz and mac don't have them 
but do have absolute jiggers built into their directory system, and the 
Python guys didn't feel like research this.

Thanks for the error traces; I'l see when I have time ;-)
