/*  FileWrite - writes buffer contents out to disk
 *
 *  The FileWrite function writes the contents of the specified file
 *  buffer out to the disk file specified by savename. If savename is a
 *  NULL pointer, then the function writes the file buffer out to the disk
 *  file with the same name. The FileWrite function first writes contents
 *  to a temporary file; if the write operation is successful, then the
 *  temporary file is renamed to the destination file.
 *
 *  savename    Pointer to name of file to be overwritten
 *  pFile       Handle to file buffer to write
