I have a weird problem here. I built a standalone for OS 9 using 2.5. I'm testing under Classic but a client is testing on a machine running OS 9. In the code I use put URL ("file:"&pPath) into tMyVar to get text from a file. The path is one retrieved from the answer file command. On OS X and Windows the text is retrieved without a problem. Not so on OS 9. I just get empty. I also tried open file, read from file and close file but that doesn't work either. No errors are reported, just not data from the file. Can anyone else confirm whether this is happening on their end?
If you're running in OS 9 natively I'm stumped. But if you're running Classic under OS X this is caused by paths being handled differently in OS 9 and Classic. You could account for this if it was possible to know if you're running 9 natively or in Classic, but alas it is not.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a function that gives you the pathname of the topStack? If there is, it seems to me that you should be able to get that pathname, and from it, determine exactly how the current OS takes care of such things. Yes, this is an annoyance, but you should only need to do it once, during (pre)openStack... right?
Yes, but the path returned by the Classic engine uses a form unique to running Classic under OS X (it excludes the volume name normally needed in OS 9, IIRC).
What's needed is a function to determine whether we're running under 9 natively or in Classic.
What's the URL to the Bugzilla request for this? I couldn't find it there.
