What on earth does any of that have to do with what I posted? I was talking about FSRefs, not Aliases. They do not behave the same on non-HFS+ volumes.

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.
