I've been following the discussion on how to obtain permanent file
references.  I now know how to obtain the file's volume name and
and directory ID.  How do I use them to open the file?  In particular,
how do I use them to open a file on an unmounted volume whose absolute
pathname is > 255 characters long?

Thanks,
Jane Eisenstein
