Openfile was written for C-POWER 64 so that a person could specify a
device number for the file. As you mentioned above, this is no longer
necessary in POWER-C 128. When I convrted the assembler to the 128, I just
changed the openfile() calls to fopen() calls. Works great! (Especially
if you are in 80 column mode, then you run with the "fast" clock).
