  13. In a copy function I call "Create" passing a valid pathname in destination.
  14.  
  15. if (Create((StringPtr)destination, curVolume, creator, type) != noErr) {
  16.                 DisplayError ("Error: Can't create destination file.");
  17.                 FSClose(orgRef);
  18.                 return 1; 
  19.  
  20. Let's say destination contains:"HD80:Utilities:My Program". How can I
  21. create the folder Utilities if it doesn't already exist so that create
  22. doesn't fail?
