I am trying to write a program which will create a directory(folder), if it does
not already exist.  I've tried to use   Fattrib (filename, 0, 0)  to tell
me what type of file it is (or -33 if not found),  but it returns -33
whether the folder exists or not.  In looking more closely at the Lattice C
manual, I find that all the arguments to gemdos() are integers (32 bits),
and that all char & short function arguments are expanded to int.
But according to ST INTERNALS some of the gemdos args are supposed to be
words (16 bits).  Has anyone figured out how the gemdos() [in Lattice]
sets up its arguments for Gem?  Help!
