How can one get OF_VERIFY to really work? 
-----------------------------------------

I want to be able to tell whether a file has changed since I last looked at it.
OpenFile with OF_VERIFY doesn't seem to do the right thing --- that is,
it never returns HFILE_ERROR.   I do something like:

    if ((hFile = OpenFile(OpenName, &OfStruct,	
        OF_REOPEN | OF_VERIFY | OF_SHARE_DENY_NONE)) == HFILE_ERROR) { 

I'v tried various variations of this, including (LPSTR) NULL in place of
OpenName (string with the file name), leaving off the OF_REOPEN etc.

Now I have to resort to _fstat to check length and date/time, since 

I suppose I could directly compare the four reserved bytes in OfStruct,
which seem to be some kind of file date/time code.  But then that may
change in future...


How can one tell whether SHARE has been loaded?
---------------------------------------------

If it is not, then I don't have to worry about getting `Sharing Violations'
when I open a file WITHOUT specifying OF_SHARE_DENY_NONE or
OF_SHARE_DENY_READ/WRITE/EXCLUSIVE.
