The only caution you need to take is to be able to specify in some manner
where those files are to opened/closed.  I know, being an assistant network
manager, that being able to relocate files that applications read/write is
an important part to network organization/administration.  

If you do not take this precaution, then this would tend to make use of this
program by others perhaps difficult, and not worth it.  (That is, if you 
intend to do distribute this program at all.)

Nothing special needs to be done because you will have a network connection.
