Just to see what would happen I added a trailing '\' to the path. This 
worked using 'explore'; (I guess it would probably also work using 'open').

Would it be OK on Windows to add the trailing '\' (if missing) ?


I'm guessing that trying to have all 'directory paths'
(eg datafile_path, progfile_dir, etc) have the trailing separator would
break stuff at this point; A quick look suggests to me that
currently some do and some don't.

I do note:

    get_datafile_dir already defaults to using the
    trailing '\' (on Windows):

        datafile_dir = "C:\\Program Files\\Wireshark\\";


Thoughts ?
