The MacPerl Toolbox extensions automatically convert strings to FSSpecs. They accept Mac OS paths, or these strings that GUSI creates that represent an FSSpec in a string (see MacPerl::MakeFSSpec and MacPerl::MakePath to convert between the two). In Mac::Carbon (the port of some of these modules to Mac OS X, but not including the GUI modules at this time), it works the same way, except that it accepts Mac OS X/POSIX paths instead of Mac OS/HFS paths. -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
