[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Solutions with NewFileName XFCN

ba0k+@andrew.cmu.edu (Brian Patrick Arnold) (02/21/90)

For those with easy Internet access, the sumex-aim.stanford.edu
Macintosh archive has improved FileName and NewFileName XFCNs.  Login
anonymous and look for the stuffed, binhexed file deep in the dark
recesses of this wonderful archive.

The bug most people have is in an old version of the XFCN.  In it, an
uninitialized Pascal string valiantly returns garbage to HyperCard upon
the first cancellation of the NewFileName XFCN.  For those with source
code, initialize all strings to empty and recompile the XFCN.
