- I'm not on my Lan right now, or I'd try this. But you should get some
- kind of failure on the DELETE FILE command. The network won't let you
- delete a file while someone else is using it. Many mainframe/mini systems
- will let the delete succeed, but just flag the file for deletion when
- the last user closes it. No one else can open or see it in the meantime.
