FSpCreate creates a new file and sets the type and creator. It is the

high-level, FSSpec version of the PBHCreate function.

spec is a ponter to an FSSpec record specifying the file to be created

creator is used to set the new file creator

fileType is used to set the new file type

scriptTag specifies the code of the script system in which the document name

is to be displayed. If StandardPutFile was used to get the file, the

sfScript field of the StandardFileReply structure should be passed in

this parameter.

Returns: an operating system Error Code. It will be one of:

noErr (0) No error

bdNamErr (-37) Bad name

dirFulErr (-33) Directory full

dirNFErr (-120) Directory not found

dupFNErr (-48) Duplicate filename already exists

extFSErr (-58) External file system

ioErr (-36) I/O error

nsvErr (-35) No such volume

vLckdErr (-46) Volume is locked

wPrErr (-44) Diskette is write-protected

Notes: If you have established the name and location of the new file through either

the StandardPutFile or CustomPutFile procedure, specify the script

code returned in the reply record. Otherwise, specify the system script by

setting the scriptTag parameter to smSystemScript. For more information

on script systems, see the Worldwide Software Overview
