You'll probably find that fileno isn't usable in quite the normal way.
On UNIX and DOS systems, fileno will return the file handle used by
the low-level open(), read(), write() and close() functions to access
the file.  In ORCA/C, the buffered file I/O routines don't call the
low-level routines, rather they call GS/OS directly.  I suspect a
fileno() macro would return the GS/OS file reference number, which is
probably different to the one used by open(), read(), etc.
