What is the proper way to detect the file is in use so I don't bother trying to
open it until it's done being written?
Simple approach?
Use filemode = fmOpenRead and use a try..except block to open the file?
Opening will fail if the file is locked by another process (triggering
the exception).
provided the other program opens the file for creation properly (eg:
blahDenyAll), right?
