Is there a solution for aliases?

I had to figure this out a while ago. Apparently, unless it's changed with Panther, you have to use Carbon code found withing the CoreServices framework. (Alias files are old-time Mac OS.) I came up with a small but useful class called MDAliasWrapper. You can find example code here:

I have a link within the code to Apple's documentation on the subject, but unfortunately that link has changed. Try searching Carbon docs for working with aliases.

In any case, you are free to use the class as is (BSD license). If you want to just glean code snippets from it for your own code, that's fine by me too.

Check out "main.m" for how to use the classes.
