Hi.  I'm writing an archival system which I'd like to be portable
to Windows.

The system relies on the property of Unix which allows a
process to keep a file open even if another process renames
it while it is open.  Neither process sees any anomaly or
error.

Do the NT file systems support this feature (which I think is
standard for POSIX systems)?
