I agree when we speak about MC 2.4.3 Macho.

But MC 2.4.2 Carbon -- which is claimed to use CARBON API,
Which claim to support CARBON plugins,
Must work with MacOS Classic paths.

Otherwise plugin, (now we speak about Valentina) expect to work with CARBON
API, which DO NOT have unix paths. So why I need deal with unix paths in
CARBON plugin ???

Can you explain me?

And again, all rest products like REALbasic and Director Carbon, work
correctly here. They return MacOS paths.

Okay, I see that this will be never changed in MetaCard.
So this is private headache of MetaCard developers.

Almost true, but Director DO HAVE that features, and with time I can find
them and use, MetaCard do NOT have them.

May be Revolution solve this problem ?
Just no time to look on it deeply...
