- The file will not be deleted (as per the DOS command) because
- the other user is reading it. If you have EXCLUSIVE access, it can be
- deleted as your other user won't even be reading from it. If both of you
- have the file open without EXCLUSIVE access you can SET MULTILOCKS ON and
- delete (the Fox way) all but the record they're reading, and delete it
- later if you want. Perhaps something that deletes all files with
- reccount()<2?
