I can understand an editor not wanting to save a file it thinks
another application is reading. I have suffered this in Code Genie and
Crimson, but never in MEditor. If anything, I've occasionally wanted
MEditor to detect this as well, but the disadvantages it would bring
have so far prevented me from even investigating how it would be done.
Occasionally, when I have a file open in MEditor, my zip program
(presumably written in C) refuses to _read_ that file until I close it
in MEditor. 49 out of 50 times it has no problem.
That I find a bit strange,
Pete
