The "Poor Man's Search Path" is described in TechNote #67 and #69.
When an ioDirID is 0 then the following directories are searched by
PBGetCatInfo: the directory specified by the ioVRefNum (or the
default directory if 0) and then the "blessed folder" (directory
having the Finder and System File.)
I distribute the TechNotes from Apple (posted to Delphi) to both
INFO-MAC and Usenet. In order to keep the message traffic of
net.sources.mac low, and to get the TN's into the hands of people that
REALLY want them, I have started a distribution list. If you want the
TN's then find your CLOSEST site on the list below and ask that
person, DO NOT ASK ME. The current list basically covers all corners
of Usenet. If you feel a corner is NOT covered and YOU are that
corner THEN you may ask to be added to the list. Being added to the
list means YOU have the responsibility to answer requests from other
people who are close to you.
