Will chk for sure, but I remeber facing folowing problem.
I run getfile() once and then next time I run it
i/o starting from original starpoint it wld start where I selected last file.
I resolwed this by iplementing that wrapper function.
I don't remember realy what was it that realy changes after selecting file viagetfile() but something certainly does.
And I resolved it by this wrapper.
Will chk it now.
Or is maybe API call that changed in the meanwhile because I used to work
with W98 back then.
