[comp.sys.atari.st] Frename

A short question on Frename()'s first parameter:

Is anybody (disk driver, networks etc.) using other values than zero
for the first parameter of the Frename()-function?

This is documented (in the book I checked) as "must be (WORD) 0."  However,
it's probably seen as "unused" by somebody out there, and thus should not
be toyed with likely.  To make start using this arg to mean something is
probably a mistake.  When you ask this kind of thing, you might get more
informative answers if you let on what you had in mind, rather than just
asking your question.
