FSRefs can only refer to pre-existing file system objects - this merited a single sentence in a single tech note far away from the File Manager documentation - which makes them bloody useless for general path conversions.

You probably want CFURL APIs for path conversions. However, you should explain a little more what you mean by path conversions, as there are some non-trivial and very subtle issues regarding HFS paths and Unicode characters. (But they may be completely irrelevant to you, which is why I ask what you mean.) hth meeroh
