FSRef under Windows / loading files with special characters in their filenames

Looking through the list archives, I found a post from Harry Plate, dated Dec 9 2005, dealing with much the same problem as I have -- namely that FsRef functions aren't in the Quicktime SDK libraries for Windows, though it they are listed in the header files.

I am trying to load an audio file which uses an 'e' with an acute accent in the filename; this fails when I use FSMakeFSSpec or NativePathNameToFSSpec. It would seem that under OS X, using FSMakeFSRef would would be the appropriate course of action. Given that the function isn't available under windows, how do I go about opening files with special characters in their names? Has anyone (Harry?) made any progress with this who is willing to share their discoveries?

Thanks very much in advance for any help.

Ok. So FSRefs really arent supported on windows; I'm surprised... I've gone
thru every QT book I have (and the CDs associated) with them, and note the
FSRef is always qualified w/ some kind of OSX directive.

I note that on windows that an FSRef is declared to be an opaque array 600b
in length; So what if I write my own implementations for the 3 functions
below, and like the FSSpec windows implementation, merely copy the absolute
filepath into that array? Is this what folks end up doing. Or is there a
better approach?

Can anyone throw me a bone?
