Is it possible to open a file for writing without truncating it?
Yes, use `Reset' and then `Seek' to the `FileSize' (BP compatible) or use `SeekWrite' or `SeekUpdate' (Extended Pascal standard) instead. (I hope this all works correctly now -- there were some problems with these things earlier. If there still are problems, send me a test program.)
BTW, should we make `Append'/`Extend' work on typed and untyped files? Neither BP or the standard do it/allow it, but I don't see any reason why not, and it doesn't *seem* too hard to implement...
