	It must be emphasized that this is likely to only work on the local
machine... Passing a pickled file-object across the net to different
machine will likely fail.

	It also will be impacted by the normal pickle restrictions (that a
different version of Python may not be able to unpickle the data).

	I don't know enough to know if M$ Windows operates in the same
manner with regards to file objects.
