Bug (?) with 'open for access' in Panther


  • Subject: Bug (?) with 'open for access' in Panther
  • From: Paul Berkowitz <email@hidden>

Three users, out of about 120, are reporting an error which I've identified
to be in

set filePath to "Hard Disk:Users:robr:Library:Application
Support:folder:fileName"
set fileRef to open for access file filePath with write permission

or just perhaps one of the

write x to fileRef

commands that follows it.

The error is:

3File Hard Disk:Users:robr:Library:Application Support:folder:fileName
wasn9t found -43"


Well, duh, of course it doesn't exist. 'open for access' is supposed to
create it. I don't think the error can be in one of the 'write' commands
because they reference the file ref number, not the spec file path: only
'open for access' refers to the file spec path.

All users are on Panther. All have tried "Repair Disk Permissions", which
doesn't help.

Has anyone else seen this, or know what's going on? I can't reproduce it
here, and the other 117 users have had no problem either.
