Routines that open blocks as filestreams in ThC 5

The attached StuffIt Deluxe archive contains documentation,
interfaces, and sample source code that developers can use to write
BBEdit extensions. This updated version features revamped
documentation, a new "universal" include file, and information and
samples on how to write PowerPC-native extensions.

Extensions written with this kit are compatible with BBEdit and BBEdit
Lite, version 3.0, and, if properly written, are also
backward-compatible with older versions of BBEdit.

The extension developer's kit is also immediately for anonymous FTP
from ftp.netcom.com, in /pub/bbsw, and from ftp.std.com, in
/pub/bbedit. If you have a URL-aware utility such as MacWEB,
Anarchie, or Mosaic, you can directly access the developer's kit with
one of the following URLs:

ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/bbsw/bbedit-30-dev-kit.hqx
ftp://ftp.std.com/pub/bbedit/bbedit-30-dev-kit.hqx

Routines to open blocks of memory as simple filestreams under ThinkC 5.0.4

Here are some routines to open a block of memory (Ptr or Handle) as a simple
filestream (they do not support disk oriented commands like rewind and seek).
I wrote these for porting unix software to ThinkC 5.0.4 using the standard
libraries. I don't know if they would work on later versions of ThinkC std
libraries. Bugs, comments, flames, etc. to eschen@molbio.cbs.umn.edu.
