Is there a way to read AliasHandle data from an OS X Finder alias file - sort 
of like the way one could create an AliasHandle in memory in the old days by 
reading a alias resource from OS 9 alias files?

The Alias Manager APIs only seem to provide routines for determining if a file 
is an alias, or for resolving it - but not for creating an AliasHandle from the 
contents of an alias file directly. 

FSFollowFinderAlias kind of does what I want, but not really. If I read the 
entire data fork of a Finder alias will the read data be a valid AliasRecord or 
do I need to do some further manipulation on the read data?
Thanks,

Erg
