I need to be able to access all file comments from the desktop file. On 
MFS volumes I use the HashString() function provided in TN26. For
HFS volumes with *NO* Desktop Manager I use the FXInfo.fdComment field
from PBGetCatInfo().

But with Desktop Manager 2.0 installed ( i havent tested with vers. 1)
the fdComment field does not hold the id of the FCMT resource.

Does anyone know how to access the Desktop Manager database to get
at the comments ?

	Thanx in advance
