Unit StandardGetFolder

Description

StandardGetFolder.c                                                          
                                                                             
    This little chunk o' code implements a way to let the user choose a       
    folder to save files in via a StandardFile Dialog.                        
                                                                              
    Since the code uses the CustomGetFile function and depends on the use of  
    FSSpec records, it only works under System 7.0 or later.                  
                                                                              
    And don't forget to include the custom dialog resources ( a 'DITL' and    
   'DLOG') in your project.                                                   
                                                                              
    Portions of this code were originally provided by Paul Forrester          
    (paulf@apple.com) to the think-c internet mailing list in response to my  
    my question on how to do exactly what this code does.  I've added a       
    couple of features, such as the ability to handle aliased folders and     
    the programmer definable prompt.  I also cleaned and tightened the code,  
    stomped a couple of bugs, and packaged it up neatly.  Bunches of work,    
    but I learned A LOT about Standard File, the File Manager, the Dialog     
    Manager, and the Alias Manager.  I tried to include in the comments some  
    of the neat stuff I discovered in my hours of pouring over Inside Mac.    
    Hope you find it educational as well as useful.
