When I run the following code:

import c.stdio;
import stream;


int main(char [] [] args) {
 File o = new File("non_existant",FileMode.Out);
 return 1;
}

I get :

Error: file 'non_existant' not found

It looks in the source like it should create it, this is windows 2000 dmd .73.

It seems like your code should work, but since it doesn't you might try this code which has worked for me in the past:

File o = new File();
o.create("non_existant");

Ok this works , but this also touches on another subject.

Walter what do you want us to do when we find bugs in Phobos ?  Would you prefer us to post a patch to the newsgroup, or is there some other way you want this handled ?

Post them here with a "BUG" in the subject. It would be even better to look at the phobos code and submit a fix!

Ok Ill try to get a patch for it, however when I go to compile phobos, using the command

digc *.d -lib=phobos

I get :

module math is in multiple packages math

Same with dmd *.d

I dont know if all these questions Im asking or stupid or not so Im just going to keep asking them untill someone says something ;).
