Re: [MacPerl] Flock

["Alex K Suska" <aksuska@insideflyer.com>]

In this case, then, does MacPerl "lock" files in any case when opened? 
Certainly, this feature is available in the MacOS since software like BBEdit
opens files without "locking" them, but Microsoft Word "locks" files when
opened.  Although it really means "file in use by another application" it
amounts to the same thing, yes?
