Hi Aleks. An effective way to convert from old Mac OS paths to standard unix paths is included in the Core Foundation library, which provides the CFURL methods:
BTW, we already link with Mac OS X' Core Foundation library in Mac OS X systems. Nice, this means that we will be able to read old-MACOS string file specifications contained in PDF files in modern Macos systems. Zac, can you please take a look to that function? We would need the default disk filesystem implementation to use it if running in Macos 10. I suppose that the function Aleksander pointed out could be used to test if a given path is an old-MACOS one.. in that case, the disk filesystem implementation should translate it to a POSIX path suitable to be used in macos 10.
