I would like to be able to read ERRLOG.SYS without risking the creation of a
new version of the file by ERRFMT (ERRFMT creates a new version if there is
a conflict when it tries to open/read/write the file).  I guess I could set
the priority of the ERRFMT process to 0 before I open the file, but I was
hoping for a cleaner method.  I've played around with various FAB$B_FAC and
FAB$B_SHR combinations without much luck.  I don't have fiche available to me,
so I can't peek at how ANALYZE/ERROR does it - any ideas?
