"browse" is a tcl/tk program that provides a file browser GUI
to let the user select a file name. It return the file name to stdout,
so it may be embedded in a script or program. E.g.

#!/bin/sh

echo "Please select file to process ..."
file=`browse`
if [ -f "$file" ]; then
	# do something with $file ...
fi
....

Features:

	csh-like Tab/Escape and Ctrl-D file completion.
	show only file matching a regular expression
	Edit, Viewer, Shell actions
	Filemanager mode.
	Stay-alive mode.

Command line options:

-fm
-filemanager	Stay alive and act as w filemanager (see "anyview" in my UsefulScripts section) 

-m  <pattern>
-match <pattern> Only show files that match <pattern>

-msg <msg>
-message <msg>	Display label <msg> 

-w
-wait		Stay alive and print file sections to stdout

-ne
-noedit		Don't show the Edit button

-nv
-noviewer	Don't show the Viewer button

-ns
-noshell	Don't show the Shell button


The -wait method can be used in a pipeline like:

#!/bin/sh

browse -wait | {
	while read file
	do
		# do something with current $file
	done
}

DEPENDENCIES

Under Unix the X_EDITOR and X_VIEWER env vars should be set. For
X_VIEWER I use a perl script I call "anyview" that tries to be able to
view any file (will use .mailcap as a last resort). Makes for a
semi-useful "file-manager" E-mail me, runge at-sign karlrunge.com if you are
interested in it. The default settings are pretty limited.

Should run well on Unix. Will run on Windows, but may require
some tweaking, to get all of the actions correct (esp. Viewer).

browse primary action it to report the selected file to stdout.
It is not clear how difficult it is to get that to work well on
Windows and Mac.

INSTALLATION

Unix: chmod 755 browse, put browse in a PATH dir.
	may have to set path to wish by hand in script.

Windows: rename browse browse.tcl. Or make a browse.bat file in PATH.

Mac: untested
