Hi Mac'ers,

I'm attempting (reads failing) to modify a ansi program into an
XCMD.  I'm using Think C 4.02 to compile.

My problem is using FSOpen function.  I'm using the ANSI A4
lib but it doesn't support file io.

So, normally I use 

if  (( ifp = ("filename", "r")) == NULL )
  whoops;
else

However I think I have to use 

if ( FSOpen(filename,vRefnum, &refNum) != noErr

Except all the example code I've found uses the SFGetfile routines.
And they do it as an application ( RE: miniedit example in Think).

I've spent the last several days banging at it, but I'm
afraid that my brain is not functioning.

Can you give me a hand...
:-(

Robert.
