 Description

     FERROR() is a low-level file function that indicates a DOS error after a
     file function is used.  These functions include FCLOSE(), FCREATE(),
     FERASE(), FOPEN(), FREAD(), FREADSTR(), and FRENAME().  FERROR() retains
     its value until the next execution of a file function.

     Warning!  This function allows low-level access to DOS files and
     devices.  It should be used with extreme care and requires a thorough
     knowledge of the operating system.

 Examples

     .  This example tests FERROR() after the creation of a binary
        file and displays an error message if the create fails:

        #include "Fileio.ch"
        //
        nHandle := FCREATE("Temp.txt", FC_NORMAL)
        IF FERROR() != 0
           ? "Cannot create file, DOS error ", FERROR()
        ENDIF

 Files   Library is CLIPPER.LIB.
