Re: File System Manager gone?

Hi,

I forgot to mention that in my case, I'm interested in porting a Mac OS 9
application that relies on the File System Manager. For instance the
"InstallFS" and "SetFSInfo" function calls for working with Foreign File
Systems. It sounds like writing a VFS will be the best way to go.

Thanks,

Connie
