I don't find any problems when I open a ascii file in more than one windows.
But I don't know when the file is very large, and some of the windows(appli-
cation program) has to read in partial file into the window's designated
memery, while other window just changed the file (on disk), then what will
happen would probably messed up, DOS will lost track on the file's fragment
in most cases, when the first window tries to fetch other part of the file.

Hope this helps.
