This is XCLOSE, a dirty-privileged program designed to                  
help you close files that "cannot be closed".

***********************************                                     
                                                                        
But...if you really need to close a file (because some *HUNG*           
process has it open) you can try this program.                          
                                                                        
Usage:                                                                  
                                                                        
   First, consider doing a backup.                                      
                                                                        
   Second, warn users of a potential system failure.                    
                                                                        
   Third, run the program ... it will prompt you for a command.         
                                                                        
Commands:                                                               
                                                                        
   CLOSE filename             ... try to close the file                 
                                                                        
      You will be presented with a choise of which close                
      mechanism you want to try.  Note that they are listed             
      in order of increasing danger.                                    
                                                                        
      (note: we generally suggest trying PINCLOSE                       
      before trying the CLOSE command.)                                 
                                                                        
   Exit           ... terminate program                                 
                                                                        
   HELP (or ?)    ... print this information                            
                                                                        
   LOOK filename  ... displays information about a file                 
                                                                        
   PINCLOSE [ pin# [,] file# ]  [ <options> ]                           
      <options> ::=                                                     
         [DISPostion #]    [autoYES]                                    
         [ENTRY <# | FCLOSE | FSCLOSE | KSCLOSE | LOG>]                 
         [ <FID | FILE> #]                                              
         [PIN #]                                                        
         [SECcode #]                                                    
         [XL <0 | 1 | 2 | 3>]                                           
                                                                        
      The PINCLOSE command will attempt to do a                         
      cross-process FCLOSE of the file.                                 
                                                                        
      Note: if it reports a final condition code of CCL,                
      that generally indicates that the close failed.                   
                                                                        
   [re]SET  VSOD  ... enable/disable the VSOD option                    
                                                                        
      The VSOD option will cause the LOOK command to report extra       
      information.                                                      
                                                                        
   [re]SET  AUTOYES                                                     
                                                                        
      ([re]sets the "auto yes" flag globally)                           
                                                                        
The PINCLOSE command is the safest method of closing files, but         
it requires that you know the PIN# and file# (these may be              
obtainable from Allegro's ETC or Lund Performance Solution's SOS/3000). 
LISTFILE <filename>, 9 may also report the information.                 
                                                                        
Both CLOSE and PINCLOSE ask for confirmation before                     
doing their work, unless AUTOYES is set.                                
                                                                        
As a general guideline, and particularly after a "CLOSE"                
command, we recommend rebooting as soon as practical.
