Perhaps, I looked too fast on that one. A reference to it in the doc would have been nice.
Thanks, I am going to start converting.

You know at this point (a few months) I must rely on samples a lot,

but many are using obsoletes like FSSpec, That does not help much.
And the worst part is I found them on the Apple site.
