Hi

is it possible to check the availability of a file in SDL and then do a 
decision dependiong on the file is available or not. I tried

#fopen f1 "filename" read
#ifdef f1
#warning "file is open"
#end

but that gives me a parse error when "filename" is not available.

I think you want 'file_exists(S)' covered in '3.2.1.3.4  Functions'.
