        !            13: creates a new file or prepares to rewrite an existing
        !            14: file called name____;
        !            15: name____ is the address of a null-terminated string.
        !            16: If the file did not exist, it is given mode mode____;
        !            17: if it did exist, its mode and owner remain unchanged
        !            18: but it is truncated to 0 length.

        !            26: files of fixed names.  The creation is done with
        !            27: a mode that forbids writing.  Then if a second
