   I run a program with submit command:

      $ SUBMIT/NOPRINT/KEEP/QUEUE=ACQUEUE ACQ.COM

      where ACQ.COM is:
            |  ...
            |  ...
            |  pid = F$GETJPI("","PID")
            |  ...
            |  RUN ACQ.EXE
            |  ...
            |  ...

        ACQ.COM run ACQ.EXE but ACQ.EXE create multiple new files
        at time=t1,t2...t3 (t"n" is unknown and not regular)

        executable ACQ.EXE  create a file, write on and close this new file
        in directory [.acq_file]. The name of new file is unknown.

    Questions: Can I with other program [FORTRAN,C,MACRO?] 
    =========  1) get the "name" of new file?
               2) know "accessibility" of new file? (i.e. instant where
                                                     ACQ.EXE close this file)
               3) is it possible with ACP?, RMS?
               4) what is necessary privilege?

    note:  ACQ.EXE is not my program :-(
           i.e. imposible use mailbox or event flag in ACQ.EXE
           machine: VAX-VMS V.5.4-2 
Thanks in advance,
