Allocating a shared folder document.

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm not sure I fully understand your environment as you're adding
files/documents and the PC is presumeably reading existing files that
the AS/400 job has not yet unlocked; but there are several APIs to lock
a stream file.  There are also several methods available to the PC so
it's difficult to say which AS/400 API would recreate the same
environment.  Some of the APIs to look at would be DosSetFileLocks(),
fcntl(), and just good old open().
