shooting from the hip, Win95 puts a lock on open files. It seems
a little haphazard and doesn't always work, but I've seen this error if
a file is open in an editor, and you attempt to delete it from outside. 
Some of the file utilities want to read a file, massage it, delete or 
rename the original, and rewrite it. Perhaps some variation of this is
what
is happening? Do you have 'byState' open someplace when the error
occurs?
