Arrrrrgggggg.....

Okay, just sitting around, trying to convert some Lightspeed C code to MPW C
(To take advantage of the 68881...) 

Now, it seems Ive tried pretty much everything but I cannot get SFGetFile 
to operate correctly. In the filename field of the SFReply structure I
usually get a NULL string or garbage. Ihave tried:
	using p2cstr to convret the field
	using SFGETFILE (non-glue routine)
	
After looking in MacsBug at the thing there is a string stored in the
structure (when using the SFGetFile glue routine) that contains a length
byte (ala pascal string) tracing it through p2cstr I see the string get
eaten up, digested, disolved....

any ideas here?
