BB___File_Type_Table

Below find a table of the relation between file content type and preferred access mode.


 * ~ File Access Modes Best Practice ||
 * = **Content** || ||= **Mime Type** || ||= **Typical Extension** || ||= **Access Mode**                          || ||= **Reading** || ||= **Writing** || ||= **Open Mode**      ||
 * Plain Text   || ||= text/plain    || ||= ini, txt, log         || ||= Sequential || ||= INPUT       || ||= PRINT       || ||= read **or** write  ||
 * Random Access || ||=              || ||=                       || ||= Random         || ||= GET         || ||= PUT         || ||= read **and** write (*)||
 * Anything else || ||=              || ||= bmp, gif, doc, etc.   || ||= Binary         || ||= INPUT$    || ||= PRINT       || ||= read **and** write (*)||

(*) The file must be WRITE-able. So attempting to open a read-only file (or file from read-only media, like CD) for RANDOM or BINARY will fail.
