- I would like to be able to read ERRLOG.SYS without risking the creation of a
- new version of the file by ERRFMT (ERRFMT creates a new version if there is
- a conflict when it tries to open/read/write the file). I guess I could set
- the priority of the ERRFMT process to 0 before I open the file, but I was
- hoping for a cleaner method. I've played around with various FAB$B_FAC and
- FAB$B_SHR combinations without much luck. I don't have fiche available to me,
- so I can't peek at how ANALYZE/ERROR does it - any ideas?
