I have used NDAlias with great results, but admittedly I haven't tried too much with Classic.
If you're using normal Alias Manager calls, it's quite possible that you've found a bug; reduce it down to sample code and file it in Radar. I can imagine that the Apple devs probably don't do hardcore testing against OS 9.x :)

I know this seems crazy but...

I have and application that create "droplets". That is, small carbon bundled applications you drop files onto. The way it works is I have a template application as a resource in my Cocoa app. I get different behaviors from the droplets by settings in a plist in their bundles. The scheme works great except that when I create a new droplet, the alias at the root level of the bundle is empty. Seems like my resource forks don't survive the NSWrapper copy NSDocument does. The droplets work for OS X but they need the alias to the executable in the MacOSClassic folder to work.

I tried quite a few tricks to make an alias file or copy one. When I do, the alias looks OK but the droplet will not launch in Classic or OS 9. When I do "Get Info" from the Finder the original file path looks good but the Memory settings are clearly not right. This tells me that I don't have a good alias. The cabon app that is the source for my template has a good alias and does launch in OS 9 and Classic.

It seems like this should be so easy but it's not. I'm wondering if there could be some Finder Flags that need to be set or some other voodoo. Any ideas would really be appreciated.
