How about ARP? You may not like the file requester in the ARP library
but it is a) a shared library, b) a defined file requester interface.
So every thing you need is in place. Just SetFunction() the requester
code with your own requester if you want to change it. When I installed
ARP 1.3 it didn't sink in, but when I brought up VlT and went to 
upload a file, the new requester was there and it was really neat.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
