Yeah, but the only thing that goes in a FSSpecs is a Pascal string,
I am not liking it either.
But there is not seems to be any alternative that would easily fit
in the code I am working on.

Why are you using paths and FSSpecs?
That is temporary until I rewrite all my file access routines.
Are you aware that this function
can fail because not all file names can be encoded into a Pascal
string, and
that only the first 31 characters of that field are used?
Yes, I am aware, In another function it wants the OutFSSpec->name
in pascal.
The actual path of "~/..." may come from user entry and or some
internal code
that assume Linux
style.
If the path can come from user entry then there should be no
Pascal strings
anywhere in this process. OTOH, you probably know more about all
this than I
do, so never mind. ;-)

Re: Can't convert path ~/... to FsrefThanks,
But, I fail to see how to integrate that into my code.
I am trying to do a generic function that will handle all
possible entry.
Plus I was hopping for something in Carbon.
Why are you using paths and FSSpecs? Why not FSRefs? Where are
you getting
these paths that they have tildas in them? Are you aware that
this function
can fail because not all file names can be encoded into a Pascal
string, and
that only the first 31 characters of that field are used?
