/*  FileNameToHandle - returns handle corresponding to the file name
 *
 *  The FileNameToHandle function searches for the specified file
 *  and returns a handle to the file if found. If pName points to a
 *  zero-length string, then the function returns a handle to the
 *  current file. Otherwise, the function searches for the file named by
 *  pName which may include a complete path. If pName not found and
 *  pShortName is not a NULL pointer, then the function scans the information
 *  file for a file name that matches pShortName. If a match is found,
 *  then the function uses the complete path name in the information file.
 *
 *  pName       Pointer to name of file
 *  pShortName  Pointer to short name of file (this parameter may be NULL)
 *
 *  Returns     Handle to specified file (if found) or NULL.
