- 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
