Does anyone know how SET WATCH FILE works? By that I mean specifically the DCL
command - what have I actually changed if I type SET WATCH FILE/CLASS=blah ? Is
it as simple as setting a few flag bits in the process space?

The reason I'm asking is to see if it is possible to do the equivalent of SET
WATCH FILE to another process. If I know what to change, it can be attacked
directly (if in S0 space) or indirectly (via ASTs etc) if in P1 space.

Seem reasonable?

If anything comes of this I will post any code I write.

Thanks

Graham
