I was writing a little utility program the other day involving the use of
PBGetCatInfo which requires a CInfoPBPtr. The pointer I passed to the routine
was always NIL which threw me for about an hour or so. The solution was well
at hand, though.
In IM-IV (File Manager chapter), the description of CInfoPBPtr is
CInfoPBPtr = ^cInfoPBRec
Now this is fine, but cInfoPBRec doesn't exist! It is actually CInfoPBRec.
The moral of this story is to use CInfoPBRec and pass &CInfoPBRec to your
low level File Manager routines.
I'm using LSC 3.02 so this may be LSC 3.02 specific, but the docs in IM-IV are
definitely wrong!
