On a physical level? What do you mean? Mechanically, inside a floppy
drive? At the operating system level? If you can narrow down what you mean
by the "physical" level, that alone will likely point you towards a better
newsgroup to ask such questions. For example, there are newsgroups that
discuss operating systems. And newsgroups for specific implementations,
such as for Borland or Microsoft products. In any case, nothing in the C++
standard specifies anything about how files are opened (or even that they
exist, as far as I know). (Also, note that this is a C++ newsgroup, not a C
newsgroup.) You might also try some searching on groups.google.com. That's
a very handy source of links to info.
