  I have tried `fopen' on file already opened in M$Word:

BC4.5 dos: Sharing violation. Abort, Retry, Fail?
 -#-  easywin (win 3.xx?): Message box with Cancel, Retry.
 -#-  win32 console: file opened.
GCC (DJGPP): Permission denied (EACCES)

  I don't know why it is different in DOS and win32, but
maybe it's because file sharing should be present for win32
and is not required for DOS.

BTW, is there any way to tell whether file is opened in sharing mode
or not (without opening with/without sharing)?
