Thanks Ian. I had included that because it seems required in order for me to refer to the return type (C.FILE) and so I can access the underlying C.fopen function. This is the approach I have with open but perhaps this is different. If I'm not supposed to use the include, can you advise how I should refer to the type/function from the header?
