In C?  Can't you just use the standard C "open" syntax?  It escapes me
(it's been like two years), but it doesn't seem like it'd be hard to just
open a file with a particular write mode, unless of course it's vastly
different under NT than regular old windows...

Shouldn't be any more difficult under Windows...
