This isn't especially surprising, because (if I remember rightly)
FSRefs internally store a path

Just a minor nit to pick: that is simply not possible. An FSRef is only 80 bytes, that is not large enough for a path.

Indeed, you're quite right. I had been poking about somewhere in the past and spotted a path. I thought that was in an FSRef, but I was wrong.


Kind regards,

Alastair.
