Thanks!  Apart of a few minor comments below, I think this can go in.

Perhaps you could add this test program to djtstNNN.zip.

Shouldn't the second typedef simply be "struct fd_properties", without
"typedef"?

I wonder whether we should use stricmp here.  Yes, I know: _truename
canonicalizes the letter case, but you know... paranoia...

(If you do change this, don't forget to #include <libc/stubs.h>.)

This is not according to the braces and indentatioin style.

Same here.

Isn't it better to put this into _open instead of open?  The opposite
operation is inside _close, not close.

Finally, the docs part is missing.
