Topic: Scan for hard disk I/O ???

Hello,
My application has to do some things only when something is written to disk.
I would like to know if there is a way to know when a file is written to
disk (from another application), directly from a C++ function (I use
Turbo C++ 3.0 on a PC).
I think I have to use interrupts. I also would like to know if it is possible
to know when the file is closed (thus, I can open it and read its data).
It has to be implemented in a data acquisition system.

Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,

Steve Jordi
