TBFinder is an opensource application that creates REALbasic versions of toolbox calls. It searches the "Univeral Headers" for the call you ask for, and translates it into RB syntax.

If you don't want to locate it yourself the first time you run the app, place an alias of it in the same folder as TBFinder, and it will be automatically used.
