Well, wait [an indefinite amount of time] until 2.0 comes out for your machine, then use its standard file requester." This is not particularly helpful advice for people who own a 500/1000/2000 and want to write code NOW. In any case, to answer the original question, there are a number of freely redistributable file requesters out on the Fish disks. There's also the req.library which was recently posted to comp.binaries.amiga; I've had some trouble using some of its functions under Lattice, but the file requester seems to work, is easy to use, and is quite nice. -- nj nj@teak.Berkeley.EDU ...!ucbvax!teak!nj
