  1. Parsefullpathname takes a full pathname (which can be longer than 255 chars), and walks down it converting it to dirID's along the way. This is exactly the opposite of the procedure described in TN #68 (more or less). DTS does not condone the use of full pathnames, but if you REALLY need to use them, this is the way to do it.
  2.   This has been tested, though not extensively.
