FileChec is the byproduct of message hook developing in PM. Its main use is
in checking to see if the operating system is holding onto a particular DLL.
It's pretty good for checking any number of sharing violation problems, though,
especially checking the modes some tape backup software tries to pull on files.
The -V parameter causes FileChec to step through less and less obtrusive open
modes, to see exactly how the file is being held open. This parameter is
generally only useful when checking up on rogue text editors that hold the file
open or other nonesuch.
(Wildcards are valid in filenames, also, but let the operator be warned that
the output becomes rather lengthy if the -V flag is used, also.)
Note: if you find yourself using this program as a development tool and don't
already have RUNNING and SLAY, get them at once. These two utilities (authored
by Christoper Laforet) are invaluable for such problems.
If you find this program useful or otherwise have complaints/fixes, drop me a
note here at work:
