Since I have not heard it from any one of you, it seems that it can
not be epidemic, however, I am getting some weird stuff with Posix
file. E.g.:
___
set k to path to "cusr" as string
set pk to POSIX file k
pk --file ":.:SantosFC/Users/deivy/"
Since I see that someone has already answered, I'll just say that I,
too, was confused by this result a few months ago. 'POSIX file', I
thought to myself. 'That has something to do with UNIX, right? Isn't
our shiny new OS expected to be POSIX compliant, you know, at some
point? Then wouldn't a POSIX file be a slashy path to a file like in
UNIX?' Of course, I didn't know what I'd do with a POSIX file once I
had one, but whatever. No, instead, POSIX file takes a string, which is
certainly not a POSIX file, and turns it into a Mac file, which is also
not a POSIX file. Or maybe it is now, I guess.
Cheers,
Mike
