If the file you are trying to access has a name that wouldn't be a valid
FAT name (i.e., not 8.3), fopen won't find it *unless* you mark the 
program as "long name aware".  This is done via either an attribute 
in the .def file for the linker, or by running exehdr or markexe 
on the linked program.  
If this isn't the problem, I don't have any other ideas -- I've used fopen
on hpfs files without any trouble.
