If you want to store alias records within your program, I have a class on my web site (http://homepage.mac.com/nathan_day/ ) that can do that, it has a category to read and write to alias files as well, but the mechanism for setting the the icon for the alias file might give the incorrect icon is some odd circumstances. But if all you want to do is resolve an alias file on the spot then what I gave you is the simplest way.

Wouldn't it be better to create something equivalent to an NSFSRef which could be used in place of an NSString? If you convert an FSRef to an NSString you've made the implicit assumption that the file path is constant and may get a rude surprise if it isn't.
