As of 2.4, replaced by FileFormat.copy(HObject, Group, String)
To mimic the behavior originally provided by this method,
call the replacement method with null as the 3rd parameter.
As of 2.4, replaced by FileFormat.createFile(String, int)
The replacement method has an additional parameter that
controls the behavior if the file already exists. Use
FileFormat.FILE_CREATE_DELETE as the second
argument in the replacement method to mimic the behavior
originally provided by this method.
As of 2.4, replaced by FileFormat.get(String)
This static method, which as been deprecated, causes two problems:
It can be very expensive if it is called many times or in
a loop because each call to the method creates an instance of a file.
Since the method does not return the instance of the
file, the file cannot be closed directly and may be left open
(memory leak). The only way to close the file is through the
object returned by this method.

The replacement method has identical functionality and a more
descriptive name. Since open is used elsewhere to
perform a different function this method has been deprecated.
