I tried to use the Unix system routine `open' to open files in my
HP-Pascal program (on a HP 9000/840), but the linker consistently used
HP-Pascal's own `open' routine. I tried to declare `open' as `external
C' (which worked for other calls), I even tried to uses the $alias
compiler option to try to fool the linker, but to no avail. Is there a
way around this?--
