This module and attendant modules and classes provide a way for REALbasic 5.2 to access file paths in a variety of useful and interesting ways under Mac OS X (tested under 10.2.6).

Although paths should be avoided under Mac OS (any version) there are times when it may be useful to have them. These include use of the shell class, display to the user, and passing to AppleScript. This module extends the REALbasic FolderItem class by providing a number of methods to extract the path information.

Path Extensions is a REALbasic snippet which allows you to extend the FolderItem built-in class with the ability to get POSIX-compliant paths, better HFS paths, a windows path and file URLs.

NortonFix provides users with such a useful disk repair utility which can repair HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) volumes that have been corrupted by Norton Utilities. You should always run Apple's Disk First Aid utility in conjunction with NortonFix for better verification and repair.

• File/direcory IDs are saved and restored on HELIOS volumes
• HFS backup and creation time is saved (not available on UFS)
• "tar"-based on HELIOS resource file representation (can be restored by a new "tar")
• Allows duplication of Mac OS X HFS bootable disks
• HFS de-composite Unicode file names are supported (umlauts, etc. are converted to composite UTF-8)
• Supports HFS disks with HELIOS volumes correctly

On most Unix-based operating systems, filesystems to be mounted at system startup are listed in the /etc/fstab file. The format of this file is described in the fstab(5) man page.

While Mac OS X supports /etc/fstab, the preferred method on Mac OS X for specifying filesystems to be mounted at startup is NefInfo. Whilst Mac OS X will automatically mount all filesystems listed in NetInfo and UFS and HFS filesystems listed in /etc/fstab at startup, it will ignore the lines in /etc/fstab referring to NFS filesystems, not mounting them, despite the fact that the mount_nfs(8) man page states otherwise.

MountNFS is a little startup item which restores the missing functionality. Once this item is installed, NFS filesystems listed in /etc/fstab will be automatically mounted at system startup.
