Help! I am trying to write a disk-backup program which will back up
a MacIntosh disk onto a UNIX-host filesystem. What I am having troubles
with now are folders... There seems to be precious little information
in my copy of Inside Mac about folders. It would seem that the folders
on a disk are actually coming from a resource in the desktop (type 'FOBJ').

My 2 questions are: How do I find out what folders are on a disk?
and
How do I create a new folder? (I want to be able to restore the disk
a close to the way it was as is possible.)
