Hi,

What is the best way to test for the existance of a file ? I can't
find it in the manual. At the moment I use something like this :

FUNCTION fexists, file
ON_IOERROR, error
openr,1,file
close,1
; found the file
return, 1

error:
;can't open the file, so it's probably not there
return,0
end

But there must be a much more elegant way, I think.

Gr.
Wolf
