- Hmm. But what if you're under System 6 without FSSpec calls? In particular,
- FTSend() requires an FSSpecArrayPtr, apparently without regard to whether
- you're running System 6 or 7.
- In this case I fill in the FSSpec by hand and hope that the FT tool can deal
- with the fact that it can't use FSSpec calls to process the file referred to.
