In response to your request for a routine or program which can test the
existence of a file on disk without causing an error, I've written a package
of utilities for Applesoft programmers which has such a command.  It will
return the file-information associated with the filename you specify in a
string (that is, the file info that you'd get with the GET_INFO MLI call).
If the string comes back empty (equal to ""), then you know that the file does
not exist.

In addition, the package has a means of changing file information (like
changing the filetype on a file with just one command).  Zillions of other
powerful commands are also available (he says, trying not make this sound like
an advertisement).

The program can be had for $10, comes with a manual describing all of the
thirty (30) built-in commands, by writing to Living Legends Software /
1915 Froude Street / San Diego CA 92107.
