Mac OS File Manager support gives you access to some functions of the Mac OS File Manager, such as relating RB's FolderItems to a Volume Reference Number (VRefNum), checking for Server volumes, getting & setting more information about files (File Flags and Attributes) and getting, creating and resolving FileIDs & DirIDs.

One of the functions is particularly helpful: RB 2.0 (and before) crashes when you open and then again close the resource fork of a file that was already opened by you or by the RB IDE. To prevent that, you can use IsResourceForkOpen before you open the resource fork and then do open it (and tell the user that you can't do it).

What's New:
Fixed IsOnRemoteVolume(),
Renamed VolResolveID(vRefNum as Integer,...) to VolResolveIDByVRefnum to avoid an unexpected naming conflict caused by the RB compiler.
