Yet, as you fopen a file to check for changes, mIRCs file handling might prevent that other app to access the file and do the very changes you're looking for...
It closes access to file the file when done. It does not keep the file open when it doesn't need to. Please be realistic. The amount of time the file will be open is but milliseconds.
And it'a not my fault mIRC opens every file with write access. I've asked for read-only access with this command. I don't understand why write permission isn't required to be declared when you use /fopen.
