This is not what I understood. There are lots of things that are different, 
for instance, applications that use Carbon will see MacOS filenames 
(colon-separated pathnames, FSSpec records, etc) while applications that use 
the BSD API will see unix pathnames. Mixing these should give disappointing 
results.

Or do I miss something?
