[net.micro.mac] HFS problems/Search Paths

(beware!)

As it happens, I have already written just such a path manager for
Consulair C (though porting to other compilers should not be difficult).
It uses resources of type 'HPTH' (which are really STR# resources) to
keep configurations across program invocations.

I am currently using it in two of my programs. The first program to use it
was Pr, which used it to search for applications to Transfer to. The second
is MDSMake version 2.0, which is pretty much complete, and uses search paths
very extensively.

I plan to post this code to the net, as soon as I write a configuration
program that creates the HPTH resources. I would also like to make sure it
is fairly robust before posting it for all the world to see.

Anyone who absolutely, positively needs it right away can send mail to
this address or by mailing to
