I saw that Aparajita was working on re-coding the url and native paths
conversion for A4D v11.

Well, it brings up an issue we're having right now and I was wondering
if there are any methods written for handling that conversion now.

We're sending some path and file information to php for processing and
it is barfing when we send the url-style paths because they start with
the Volume name.

We're running on os x.  So when we execute

join paths (root path; "lib"; "script.php")

we get: /HARDDRIVE/app1/lib/script.php

to send into php cli using Launch External Process, we need the
absolute path in posix style: /app1/lib/script.php

So I wrote a routine to strip the volume name off.  Trouble is that if
the file is on a Volume, I need to _append_ "/Volumes"

So again, I can figure out if the Volume is the root volume, and
adjust as necessary, but I was wondering if this is something for
which there are already commands or methods to handle it.  Am I
missing the proper way this is handled?

Or perhaps this is why Aparajita is rewriting it for v11... :)
