Amazing! Both the hard copy and (my 1999 copy of) MSDN library reference 
describe GetFileAttributes as a function rather than a macro.  I guess MS 
expects you to read the header.

Thanks a lot!

Follow-on question:  Using the C++ standard library on Win32, how do you 
open a file that requires std::wstring to represent the filename?  Or is 
there no way to do that without resorting to the Win32 API?
