--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function 5Ah creates a file, and opens it in compatibility mode with
Read/Write access. This function is often used to create temporary
files, but note that DOS does not automatically delete the file when
the program terminates.
Notes: The pathname must end with a backslash character.
Reserve 13 bytes following the pathname so that DOS
can append name of the newly created file.
