Is there a way to open a write-only file in Squeak? On both Mac and Linux attempting to open such a file fails.

For example, if you create a write-only file, i.e. in a shell, after cd to default directory

echo nada > foo
chmod 200 foo

Then from Squeak

StandardFileStream fileNamed: 'foo'

returns nil.

If the file is given read permission (i.e. chmod 600 foo) then Squeak can open it.

Anyone know a workaround?

Thanks,
Doug
