Can anyone tell me if the rendered file ( the bmp) is locked during a
render. I'm planning on executing POV from the command line and displaying
the image in my own application ( so read only) as it is being rendered.
But if the file gets locked I'm going to have to come up with something
else.

it depends on the type of lock.
