+MTIO mods:
+
+ (1) Install error checking in MTOPEN ("errchk open").
+
+ (2) Attempt to position to a file beyond EOT for reading should not
+ cause an error, rather EOF should be returned at the first read,
+ indicating a zero length file (i.e., EOT).
+
+ (3) ZARDMT should zero-fill to an integral number of chars, provided
+ space is available at end of buffer (see ZARDBF, which I had to
+ modify to provide zero-fill).
