Sometimes, when I open the a file like so:

FILE *file = fopen(fname, 'wb'); if(!file) printf('Error code: %d\n',ferror(file)); 

I get a result of 32. What does this mean? Specifically, for eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0

Also, it seems like eVC does not support perror/errno 🙁

    You are using ferror() in a wrong way: it works only on a valid (non-null) file handle. Passing it NULL (in the case fopen() fails) causes UB, which manifests in your case by printing a random value (not trapping on NULL pointer access suggests that the underlying platform does not have memory protection).
