	Use the relatively new P4V admin interface.

		Afternoon,
		
		What's the best way to determine if a user has read
access to a file,
		short of logging in as them and doing fstat or whatever.
		
		Let's say my protections are set up like this:
		
		        write user echlinj * //depot/Jamgraph/...
		        write user echlinj *
-//depot/Jamgraph/REL1.0/...
		
		So I have no read/write access to stuff under REL1.0. I
was hoping this
		would work:
		
		  

			p4 -u p4admin protects -m -u echlinj
			    

		//depot/Jamgraph/REL1.0/src/gparticle.cpp
		write
		
		However I don't have write access to that file.
		
		Without -m I get:
		
		write user echlinj * //depot/Jamgraph/...
		write user echlinj * -//depot/Jamgraph/REL1.0/...
		
		I don't really want to parse that to work out which line
best matches
		the file in question. There must be a better way.
		
		Cheers,
