So. Where. Is. This. Used??? The comment in sq.h merely states:
"New filename converting function; used by the interpreterProxy
function ioFilenamefromStringofLengthresolveAliases. Most platforms can
ignore the resolveAlias boolean - it seems to only be of use by OSX but
is crucial there."
and unfortunately, this doesn't give much guidance about arguments or
return values. Without an example (which I have asked for, remember?) it
is *impossible* to implement that function correctly based on the
information I have.
Cheers,
