Bulletproof it may not be, but that's exactly what CW
does. If you still have the MSL sources around
somewhere you can find the implementation of functions
such as this in the file FSp_fopen.c. I don't know
what the legal ramifications might be for a commercial
app [though I think that has been discussed elsewhere
following the demise of CW], but for research
applications where I'm only writing software for
myself, I've just pulled that file out of the MSL
sources, made a couple of changes required for it to
compile, and included it in my code that now builds
under Xcode.
