Hi

I want to write a Converters.Converter (specifically an Importer)
to read Bitmap files useing FreeImage.

I have code that does this, but not packaged as a Converter for
full integration into the BBox framework.

My problem is:

The importer must have the signature:

  "PROCEDURE ImportGifBitmap (f: Files.File; OUT s: Stores.Store)"

whereas FreeImage requires the file to be specified by a PathName.


It there a way of finding a file's pathName?

I know that the file is (probably ?, definately?) of type HostFiles.File, which
has a field 'name', and a Locator which would give the path, but these are not
exported.


Any suggestions?

Cheers

Robert
