Displaying locking information

In the last tutorial, you locked the file

ansi.c by checking it out in the PWE. After modifying it and saving the file, you checked it in again, thus removing the lock. Now, none of the files of the multi-user project should be locked. Let's verify this by displaying the project's locking information.

In the Project Editor, select the Lockers check box.
The File List is expanded to show file locking information.
Scroll through the File List to look at the locking information of the files. You should notice only the name of the version control tool (RCS).
Clearly, none of the files are locked, which is what we expected.
In a more complicated multi-user team development situation, many files may still be locked after an update of team working environments. SNiFF+ correctly handles updates even when files are locked and haven't been checked in again. For details about how SNiFF+ updates working environments, please refer to the User's Guide.
Clear the Lockers check box.
