java.lang.Object
- uk.ac.starlink.table.gui.SystemBrowser

```
public class SystemBrowser
extends java.lang.Object
```
Uses the native system file dialogue to provide a TableLoader. This is a wrapper around FileDialog, which is in turn a thin wrapper around whatever the native platform uses for its default file browser. Looks ugly on my fvwm-based Linux desktop, but for Mac and MS users it may be much preferable to the java-coded alternatives.
An instance of this class retains state (current directory) between invocations of its sole method.
