Troy,

If BibleCS is failing for me (and it is) then it is most certainly,
absolutely *not* compiler-specific. Again, MinGW uses the native
Microsoft C runtime which is where the implementation of "open"
happens. I suggest you do some reading on this, including the links I
sent you previously. In addition, here are a couple more (and there is
a *lot* more info available).
