Seems I was proven seriously wrong, *swallows pride*. Only limitations I
see is that you do have to know the file name and path contrary to the
original post, and as stated by the person who conducted the test, it is
platform specific (he had to change it to work on this unix system). Not
trying to dilute the problem, just noting some things.

Apologies for the error in my statements, but isn't it much nicer to see
it _really_ work?
