Is there a way in lisp that I can distinguish between file not found
and file locked. Particularly in the case of an archive being locked,
it hardly seems fair for (PROBEF '((AR1 FOO) BAR >)) to return NIL just
because the silly archive is off running on its own... I understand
why it does this, but can someone suggest a simple way that I can
tell the difference between file not found and file found but locked?
