Sure!

If you want to find out whether a file EXISTS, simply do an INQUIRE with an
EXISTS specifier. One additional "advantage" is that you don't have to OPEN
the file in case it does exist.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned INQUIRE until now.

[...] If you need to know more about the file, though, do use inquire(). :-)
