| If you try to open the SYSLOG.DAT file
with Notepad you will get the error 'Sharing violation on drive
C.'. This is as Citect holds this file open while it is running and
Notepad is trying to open the file in exclusive mode. This will
also occur for most other editors.
To solve this problem in version 1.2 and later Citect will open
the SYSLOG.DAT file in shared mode. As the file is opened in shared
mode any other application may also open the file at the same time
so long as it also opens it in shared mode. Most editors don't
support opening a file in shared mode so you will still not be able
to view the SYSLOG.DAT file.
You may however copy the SYSLOG.DAT file and then open the
copied file. To copy the file you may use the DOS COPY command in a
DOS box or the cicode function FileCopy() as both these methods
open the file in shared mode. You cannot use the File Manager as it
seems to open the file in exclusive mode. |
