If you are using UNIX or Linux, the source code for both tk_getOpenFile
and tk_chooseDirectory are in /usr/lib/tk* (or /usr/local/lib/tk*,
depending on how things are installed):

tk_getOpenFile -- tkfbox.tcl
tk_chooseDirectory -- choosedir.tcl

You can copy these two files into one file and hack on it to produce
what you want. Whatever that it.

Under MacOS and MS-Windows, tk_getOpenFile and tk_chooseDirectory use
'native' dialog boxes, over which you have a somewhat limited control
over (at least from Tcl//Tk).

What is wrong with Tix? Why don't you like it?
