Platform Differences
	* Linux requires the filename case matches the real name of the file. 
	  Windows and DOS are case insensitive. 
	* Path separators in Linux are forward slashes / . Windows uses 
	  backward slashes \ but it allows for forward slashes .  DOS uses 
	  backward  \ slashes. 

Differences from QB
	* New to FreeBASIC.  Existed in Visual Basic.
