This has been discussed on the Carbon list more than once. There are
two schools of thought:
1. Use AppleEvents or AppleScript to ask the Finder to make the alias
for you.
2. Peek inside a couple of alias files with Resorcerer and you'll see
that the structure is not that complicated. Roll your own code to
make them (using Carbon APIs).
No need to do that, use NDAlias from

wrapped in classes for you.
