[Tutor] windows and filenames

I need the full pathname because the script takes the filename and converts
it into a URL that will work on my webserver. So f:\mp3s\song.mp3 gets
converted into http://24.78.73.218/mp3s/song.mp3, and
f:\apache\htdocs\somefile.html gets converted into
http://24.78.73.218/somefile.html

the dos-style filenames are ugly, but they also don't work with apache.
Apache needs the full filenames, so you can see why "mp3s\electr~1" doesn't
work when "electronica" would.

I guess I'll look around for winall and see if that has anything that could
help.
