Re: Lock on command processing program ignored

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Learn something new every day--I'd've thought that an exclusive lock
would mean no access, but apparently you can still USE a program that is
locked. It's not an authorization thing.

I'll probably still lock the program in the validity checker--if can't
lock it, then drop out.

Still, this is interesting.

Thanks to all.
