NavServicesAvailable() isn't available to us poor FB folk.  It's a C 
preprocessor macro defined in the Universal Headers.

It looks like it checks for the existence of the NavigationLib then 
calls the library function NavServicesCanRun()  Perhaps this is a 
better way of checking if NavServices is available.

Still, I'm not sure why Craig needs to check for the library himself 
when the runtime does it for you.  As I mentioned before, just set 
gFBUseNavServices to _zTrue and the runtime will do the rest for you. 
Of course maybe he isn't using the standard runtime open and save 
dialogs.
