  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    This function will create a file if and only if it does not already
    exist.
 
       Note:          This function is identical to Function 3Ch (Create
                      File) if the specified file does not already exist.
                      If the file does exist, however, this function will
                      fail, whereas 3Ch will truncate the existing file to
                      zero length, and then open it.
