On second thought, something here deeply bothers me.  It seems that I
can browse the same file in two different DOS boxes on Windows 95 with
no problems at all.  For example, Less can read the same file from two
DOS boxes.  So what is different about your editor that you cannot?
Does it open the file in read-only mode?

Can you post a simple test program that fails when run on the same
file in two different DOS boxes?
