Do you know much about this? I haven't been able to find anything very specific. A source at Apple says that it's not a new manager, it's just the documentation of some traps (perhaps HFSDispatch based?) that have been around since HFS was introduced. But this has not been confirmed. If it *is* just the routines used to maintain the directory B-trees, then how general are those routines for other database applications? Is there a network interface for remote database access using this B-tree layer for local support on the server? What does the programming interface look like? And so on, and so on.... Any information you have will be appreciated. -- Tim Maroney, Mac Software Consultant, sun!hoptoad!tim, tim@toad.com Postal: 424 Tehama, SF CA 94103; Phone: (415) 495-2934 "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine." -- Patti Smith
