I am using GNU C, and I was just wondering what is the difference between Fopen() [not fopen()] and open()? Are the file descriptors they return totally different? The reason I am asking, is when the new Flock() function is implemented for networking, will we HAVE to use Fopen() or can we still use open()?

Most C compilers (GNU included) used on ST machines are using Fopen() for open() and fopen(). I think therfor it is no problem at all using open() or fopen(). Geert.
