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.
This has been tested, though not extensively.
****Note*****
MPW has a weird bug with creating dump files - occasionally MPW will crash horribly as its cleaning up after writing out the file. Your Machine will crash with a "Bomb" dialoge with no frame.
The solution to this is to set the conditional compile flag back to zero and compile again. Even though the first compile crashed, the dump file should be intact and ready for subsequent use.
I've noticed that this bug appears less frequently if you delete your old dump file before re-compiling a new one, but this doesn't always guarantee that you won't crash.
