Testing if file open() command successful

[Colum]

Hi,
Does anyone know how to check if the ofstream open() command was successful.
My program tries to open a file on a floppy disk and I want to ensure that
the disk is present in the drive by checking if the open() command succeeded
Thanks
Colum

ofstream File( "a:\\file.txt" );

if( !File.is_open() )
{
cerr << " File is not open" << endl;
}
