Well, if the file's only open for a few milliseconds then it shouldn't
really make much difference.  However, if you open a file in deny-read mode
and forget to close it, other applications won't be able to access it while
you're messing with it, thus the situation above.

I gave up and got 3:633/267 to FREQ it from you. :-)


MSQ304.ZIP is now available for FREQ from 3:633/267 as "MSGED".
