Re: Checking if File Open

as much as i hate to commit on-line suicide by questioning Derek, a question
comes to mind. your example appears to handle only files opened by Euphoria
itself, which has no true open shared mode. would your code work to read a
file opened by another language, say PowerBuilder, which supports files
opened in a shared mode by multiple users?

a trick i often use to test if a file is REALLY closed, is to use a WinAPI
call to move the file to a temp directory and then back home again. the OS
won't move files opened in shared mode.

just a thought.
