XRC fits from the command line

[Mike Driscoll]

Christian,

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, my program's location is in a UNC path
and the app is run on windows, so when you double-click the cmd file, it
reverts to C:\Windows since it doesn't support UNC.

I got it to work by hard-coding the location of the xrc file though. I
just wish there was a better way. I was trying to avoid that. 

Thanks again,

Mike

This looks for 'login.xrc' in the current dir...

... and here you seem to want to be able to start the script from any
location so that in the end 'login.xrc' is not in the current dir.

I use something like the following to find the location of the xrc file:

xrcfile = os.path.splitext(os.path.abspath(__file__))[0]+'.xrc'
