I'm sure some of you will be able to srot this out pretty quickly.
I am using PathWorks for Macintosh to create files on a VAXshare volume by an application program on the VAX.
I then want to read my files by a Think 'C' program on the Macintosh. My problem is this. When I try to open the files I get a FILE NOT FOUND error since the Mac doesn't know about the files yet. But if I first use the Finder on the ma c to look at the folder, subsequent attempts to read the file will work since the server then knows about the file.
My workaround to this is to first do a directory search of the folder from the 'C' code on the Macintosh. However, I have looked through my Inside Macintosh volumes but I just can't seem to find out how to do a directory search. Am I missing something silly?
Please, can you tell me how to do this from a piece of 'C' code. I really don't know the Macintosh filesystem internals too well so please don't assume too much in your reply. Thanks in advance.
