I have had a query from a friend who is a novice at C, and don't have the
knowledge to answer him, knowing little about the proposed ANSI
standard.  He says that in persuing H&S's discussion of the ANSI
standard, the low-level I/O functions (such as open(), read(), etc.)
do not seem to exist.  I have told him that to the best of my
knowledge, this does not mean that they are going to disappear, simply
that they weren't mentioned in the standard.  Am I correct?  What's
the real story?  Please reply by e-mail, as I get the feeling this is
a pretty dumb question...
