Hi ck,

I checked around the archive and couldn't see anything that called
the WinAPI CreateFile directly.
I modified win32fil.ew again (created by Jeffrey Fielding -
thanks again Jeffrey) to add the CreateFile API call.

Note: There are heaps of options for The Win API CreateFile which I have
defaulted to standard values.

You can pick the modified win32fil.zip file from:

I tested it under win98 and it worked fine but don't have access to a WinNT
here at work, I'll see if I can test it out tonight at home.

You will have to do a CreateFile("whatever")
followed by an open file "I THINK".


Hope this works!
