Using Think's Lightspeed C.

I am porting some code from another system which uses the standard
C library for I/O.  I would like continue to use them, but would also
like to change the function which asks for the pathnames by 
using the SFGetFile and SFPutFile functions.

I have had no problem getting the vol ref number and
filename, but in order to fopen the file, it requires a pathname.
I read an article recently which said one way of getting the full
pathname, but that seems cumbersome.

Is there a better way to access mac files using the stdio functions
in Lightspeed C using vRefNum and fName?

Any Ideas will be helpful.

Thanks,
