Well, I writing a map/game editor, and the problem is that the maps hold
the filename of the tilesets they use.  They work fine on my computer, but if 
someone else doesn't run the program from "d:\djgpp\editor\" then it can't 
find the files...

I can't think of a better solution so I guess I'll have to write my own...
