  Im trying to port some programs from the MessDOS and Un*x worlds but some
of them include the file <sys/stat.h> and utilize the structure stat.  The
structure is used for calls like:
	struct stat statbuf;
	char *iomod;
		...
	iomode = (stat(outfilename, &statbuf) == 0) ? "r+b" : "wb";

where iomode is then used in the fopen() routine to set the I/O mode for
file access.  I cant find any references to this structure in any of the
Orca/C or APW include files.  Is there an equivalent structure and call 
for the APW and Orca/C environments?  Should I bite the bullet and just
kludge the code (forcing iomode to a specific mode)?
