Nothing wrong with recommending the NSString methods. Indeed, that's a good idea. What's harmful is spreading false information about HFS's path separators. When dealing with UNIX paths, the OS X path separator is /, end of story. (When dealing with Carbon paths, it's :, no matter what your filesystem, even on UFS, even on FAT32, but a Cocoa app rarely has any occasion to use Carbon paths.)
