Re: Create an exclusive lock on an IFS file?

[Kevin Passey <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

I've written some RCP based applications - and this is just off the top 
of my head...would a lock file work...like OO does - create a 
.~lock.filename-to-update in the same directory, if it does not exist 
create it and go ahead and update - If the file does exist then it's 
locked...when you've finished your updates remove the lock file so that 
another workstation can get access to the file. The lock file could also 
include the function name could it not?
