[PD-dev] Tcl exec vs. Microsoft filenames

[B. Bogart]

yuck, URIs don't have spaces, you put one in a web-page you its replaced
with %20 in the URI.. I guess you could have to replace spaces with %20
and see if that works.

Try just opening the file in a browser and note the URL it uses to open it.

I assume this happens on win32, but its been too long for me to know...
