Two questions about the File Manager:

1. What routines that are documented in IM VI (if any) are available in
System 6.0.x? I am especially interested in whether PBHOpenDF will work
under 6.0.x. (As an aside, what about Resource Manager routines like
HOpenResFile?)

2. When a completion routine gets called for, say, PBRead, I know I get
the paramBlock in A0. Do I get it on the stack by any chance also? If not,
is there any way to get at it besides my C code having a "asm {move A0,myPB}"
in the middle of my code? How do people do it in Pascal? And what should
the declaration of the completion routine look like? I couldn't find any
of this in either IM IV or IM VI.
