I am a novice user of the AEGIS operating system. I would like a way to
subvert the file locking mechanism so that I can look at the contents 
of a file while it is being written. I have tried using the dm visual editor 
and commands such as catf and fopen in a C program. They all return file 
is busy type messages. Forcibly unlocking the file with ulkob -f seems
to screw up writing to the file by the origial process. Thanks for any
help on this matter.
