> Files are usually opened using oldFileNamed: (which allows writing) when in fact they will only be read.  This causes two problems: (1) file opening primitve will fail (to open the file for writing!) if the file is marked by the OS as readonly (including all files on readonly CDROMs) and (2) the underlying OS will believe the file needs to be locked to facilitate the writing until it is explicitly closed (rarely done!) or garbage collected.
> This is a conservative conversion of many uses of oldFileNamed: to readOnlyFileNamed: where it is clear the file is not written.  No other modifications of the methods were done.
