- Yikes! Oh man, you oughta get OpenFileSpy. It lets you examine, as well
- as close, any open file. Well, maybe not -any- open file, but it suffices

- OpenFileSpy is due to Gordon Watts, gwatts@ruthep.rutgers.edu, and should
- be available via anonymous ftp from sumex and likeminded sites. The
- shareware fee is only $5, plus another $5 if you want source. My outrageous
- sin is that I haven't registered for this enormously valuable tool. I
- didn't realize until just now what the alternative is.
