FILE: O116.OUT.HPSPOOL
1 Accessor(O:1,P:1,L:0,W:0,R:1),Share
system  MANAGER.SYS                P:1,L:0,W:0,R:1      LDEV:
 #P59    (OUTSPOOL.PUB.SYS)
   ACCESS: R-excl            REC#: 0                    FNUM: 10
    LOCKS: none

FWIW this was originally a file for the Office Extend Fax system that is
currently sold by 3k associates.

Please oh please I don't want this to be a case of the system has to be
rebooted... Everytime my boss does it as of late, things get hosed and I
spend most of the day fixing problems.

Thanks, Lane
