Re: file dialog boxes with cygwish80

["Clive Mayo" <cm at ttl-3d dot co dot uk>]

Not a bug in scriptics tcl/tk 8.0   sorry.

In the file generic\tclFileName.c the function Tcl_TranslateFileName
has the following code which is causing the problem.

    /*
     * Convert forward slashes to backslashes in Windows paths because
     * some system interfaces don't accept forward slashes.
     */

#ifndef __CYGWIN__
    if (tclPlatform == TCL_PLATFORM_WINDOWS) {
        for (p = Tcl_DStringValue(bufferPtr); *p != '\0'; p++) {
            if (*p == '/') {
                *p = '\\';
            }
        }
    }
#endif

I guess the above is needed in cygwin, but  GetOpenFileName expects a
windows path, so as a work around put the following changes in tkWinDialog.c
