I see, but I still don't think the current code handles the flags
"correctly". Here's a pseudocode based on the (documented) CBM DOS
capabilities that is much closer to the POSIX semantics. However it
doesn't handle O_APPEND (yet) as I don't know the CBM append
capabilities yet...

==========

rwflag = oflag & (O_RDONLY | O_WRONLY);

if (rwflag == (O_RDONLY | O_WRONLY) ||
    rwflag == 0)
  return EINVAL;

if (rwflag & O_RDONLY)
  goto "read file";

// --- write file ---

exist = "check file";

if (oflag & O_CREAT == 0 && !exist)
  return ENOENT;

if (oflag & O_TRUNC == 0 && exist)
  return EINVAL;

if (oflag & O_EXCL == 0)
  "delete file";

"write file";

==========

That's cool! Yet another project after the fixed/imporved mouse driver ;-)

Best, Oliver
