Working With Packages

Mac OS 9 introduces the concept of packages. Packages are file objects that combine an application or document with supporting files in a container. By default, Navigation Services does not display packages in the browser list; if you want your application to recognize packages, specify the kNavSupportPackages constant in the dialogOptionFlags field of the NavDialogOptions structure that you pass in the dialogOptions parameter of various Navigation Services functions. If you want your application to be able to navigate packages, specify the kNavAllowOpenPackages constant in the same way. Package support is available in Navigation Services 2.0 and later.
