Summary: possible fix????

[line-eater]  [line-eater]  oops!

	Here's a possible solution to the Fcreate() bug.  It remains
	for Netlanders to tell me if it works, as my hard disk is
	kaput right now, and I'm not sure where my C compiler is
	on floppy.

Before creating a file, use Fopen() to read it.  If you can read it,
it exists.  Then, just overwrite it with Fwrite().  If it does not
exist, use Fcreate().  The problem is, will Fopen() suffer the same
problem as Fdelete()?
