C SUBPROGRAM:    COBFL
C   PRGMMR: ATOR             ORG: NP12       DATE: 2005-11-29
C
C ABSTRACT:  THIS ROUTINE OPENS A SPECIFIED SYSTEM FILE FOR READING
C   OR WRITING VIA THE BUFR ARCHIVE LIBRARY C I/O INTERFACE.  THERE
C   CAN BE AT MOST TWO SYSTEM FILES OPEN AT ANY GIVEN TIME (ONE FOR
C   READING/INPUT AND ONE FOR WRITING/OUTPUT).  IF A CALL TO THIS
C   ROUTINE IS MADE FOR EITHER READING/INPUT OR WRITING/OUTPUT AND
C   SUCH A FILE IS ALREADY OPEN TO THE BUFR ARCHIVE LIBRARY C I/O
C   INTERFACE, THEN THAT FILE WILL BE CLOSED BEFORE OPENING THE
C   NEW ONE.
C
C PROGRAM HISTORY LOG:
C 2005-11-29  J. ATOR    -- ORIGINAL AUTHOR
C
C USAGE:    CALL COBFL( BFL, IO )
C   INPUT ARGUMENT LIST:
C     BFL      - CHARACTER*(*): SYSTEM FILE TO BE OPENED. INCLUSION
C                OF DIRECTORY PREFIXES OR OTHER LOCAL FILESYSTEM
C                NOTATION IS ALLOWED UP TO 120 TOTAL CHARACTERS.
C     IO       - CHARACTER: FLAG INDICATING HOW BFL IS TO BE OPENED
C                FOR USE WITH THE C I/O INTERFACE:
C                   'r' = READING (INPUT)
C                   'w' = WRITING (OUTPUT)
