Actually I was using Lightspeed Pascal 2.0, educational version, on a 
SE/30 4/80 under System 6.0.3. I think what happend was that an unitialized
string of the same length as the string I wanted to use to create this
file was used to create it. What is really interesting is that the command
I used is CreateResFile, and the file which appeared has the same size
as another file in the same directory, the one which was supposed to have a
resource fork put in it. No FS routines work - the FS routines can't find it.
I don't know whether it's the null or the linefeed causing the problem.
Anyone know how to use the parameter block routines?
