waopen - Opens a word addressable file
waopen2 - Same thing as waopen but returns error code.
call waopen (iun) (FORTRAN)
c_waopen(iun) (C)
ier=waopen2(iun) (FORTRAN)
ier=c_waopen2(iun) (C)
Opens a word addressable file.
On byte addressable machines, WA software routines store the information in a "most significant byte first" fashion.
waopen2 and c_waopen2 return a file descriptor if the file is correctly opened, otherwise they return a negative integer.

Warning: Do not mix different I/O access to the same file (ex: writda, wawrit).
Buffering configuration can be controlled via the WA_CONFIG environment variable for performance issue.
