I almost bought your answer, but I think not.

Think C shouldn't assume so much, it should look at the error.
Couldn't it notice the difference between "fnfErr -43 /*File not
found*/" and "opWrErr -49 /*file already open with with write
permission*/"?

If the file is not found, forget it, but if I already have it open in
ResEdit, please make some noise.
