Dunno about win32 in general, but why not simply use File.open/new ?


f = File.new("ayaken", File::CREAT|File::RDWR, 0644)
f.puts("banzai!");
f.close
f = File.new("ayaken", File::RDWR)
f.seek(8);
f.puts("ayaken!");

=> ayaken now contains (at least on Unix)
banzai!\n
ayaken!\n

(on windows probably have to seek one further for the \r)
