	As far as I can tell, my code functions 100% with these.

PyTix 8.1.4 is messy to install on Windows!
	Unfortunately, Tix is the only Tk based module with a tree viewer widget and
	it's a problem to install.
	You have to download:						http://starship.python.net/crew/mike/Idle/
		and it still doesn't work.  There should be a better way.
	Then, you must drop the file tix8184.dll into Python23/DLLs and replace the 
		current Python23/tcl/tix8.1 directory.  These files are included in
		the Tix subdirectory along with the installer.

	It says that Linux probably has Tix by default.  The source is:
		http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tix/tix-8.1.4.tar.gz

Mysterious Bug: Turning on the hourglass cursor causes browser window to flash until it
	is redrawn.  It was working, but now I had to comment out the recursion in the
	BusyManager in charge.




CURRENT TO DO LIST:
	Comment treedisplay more (i'll try and do it)
	Add content to help dialog boxes in spdeDialogs
	Add hourglass (remove “Retrieval Complete”)  (was done until Mysterious Bug)
	Add CDF master fields to XML
	Select multiple datasets at once (min/max of times)
	Allow selecting multiple URLs and getting all at once
	Add tree interface to browse datasets
	Support for VMS FTP and HTTP


THESE ARE DONE:
	Allow multiple remote paths for each dataset
		"path" is now a newline separated text element, not an attribute
	Change CURRENT to LATEST
	Don’t restrict times
	Remove warning dialog box on time query – cancel button 
	Time ranges in file names (end times) 
		this works very well as far as i can see.
	Return time in standard ISO format with each URL 
		displays times and hyperlinks
	Allow for more than 5 files displayed/more options
		checkbox and counter
	Let user select whether to see/edit instrument elements
		tree must be redrawn for it to have an effect
	Copy into XML Tree function (guess fields on Add Child)
		it scans down directories and guesses where bottom level is and grabs a
		random filename from that bottom level.  this happen in the
		datasitewalk.ftpanalyzer function

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE!
