Re: Global File Operations

The "fam" file access method determines the type of file access
allowed for both OPEN-FILE and CREATE-FILE. The following types are
defined in SwiftForth:

R/O Read Only - can not write to file.
W/O Write Only.
R/W Both Read and Write allowed.

For example

S" myfile.txt" R/W OPEN-FILE ( -- handle ior )

would return a file handle plus zero on the top of stack if the file
myfile.txt is available.

Hope this helps,

Mike
