Hello again everyone...

My original query was:

> Does anyone know of a way to list open files by pid?

The overwhelming response was to use lsof (list open files).
It is available at:

       ftp://vic.cc.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof
       http://smc.vnet.net

Other responses included fuser and /usr/proc/bin/pfiles.
I think that lsof certainly is more flexible and provides the
development community a tool to assist with debug.
fuser is nice but I need to know the filename ahead of
time and pfiles is nice too but it gives me inodes instead
of file names which I then have to go thru additional
gyrations to figure out.

And many thanks to all all that responed:
