Tom,
For HFS-specific information, I highly recommend using Greg Guerin's
MacBinary Toolkit which can be found at:
http://www.amug.org/~glguerin/sw/index.html#macbinary. This can be used
in OS9 and OS X. Greg implements the file access routines using Carbon,
but that does not present a problem since it is mainly Carbon and Cocoa
event loops that are incompatible. I have used the MacBinary Toolkit on
OS 9 and OS X (1.3.1+ and 1.4.2+) and have been very pleased with it.
Plus, if you are used to doing the Carbon programming, this interface is
MUCH simpler. No word yet from Greg on Universal Binary support, but I
am sure that would not be too terribly difficult to handle yourself if
he can not get to it.
Regards,
Michael

Hello list members,
against Apple's recommendation not to the use of the technologies JNI
and Carbon together (since the creation of Java 1.4.1), i *have to*
bridge the gap between Macos 9/MRJ2.2.x and Macos 10.3/10.4 on the
basis of compatible files. So i have to deal with resource fork,
fileinfo-Bits, comments etc.. To make matters worse, Quark4 is used in
the classic environment and we have a mixture of classic and modern
photoshop variants (6.0/6.5, CS etc). So i have to provide files in
the most compatible manner, to make the classic applications happy, no
matter what Macos they are running on.
Does JNI still work with Carbon on this basic level (FileManager,
Resource Manager). Btw i have to read and write resource Data. Or
should i forget it (and not go to work the next few days .. ;-)
regards,
Tom
