Yes I added that! Only took me a year (yes it was on my todo list).

Ok, the file copy I know about, However the canonicalise file name
needs more input, er information. What do you want?
Hint on the mac under OS-X carbon I go from HFS file names to POSIX
file names in the MacRoman char set. Mind I could go to unicode if we
want. But this is under the covers, that information isn't returned
to the user, but I need it for the BSD fopen. However nothing
prevents me from say returning the unicode value? Is that what you
want?
