FAKELOCK        Simulates a network lock

Description:
  FAKELOCK simulates a network lock for runtime testing of program logic
  associate with network file operations.


Syntax:     
  SET KEY <expN> TO FAKELOCK


Pass:       
  Nothing


Return:     
  Nothing


Notes:      


Example:    
  To see FAKELOCK work, set a key to activate it (I like ALT-L).  Then
  when your application is running, press ALT-L at some "wait-state".  A
  non-screen destructive message will appear telling you that the lock
  has been turned on or off.  From this point on (until you turn the
  lock off again) the network functions in VERNSIX.LIB will all act as
  though they have been unsuccessful.

  i.e.  SET KEY 294 TO FAKELOCK


Usage:      
  FAKELOCK will force all of the VERNSIX.LIB network functions
  (V_APPEND(), V_FLOCK(), V_RLOCK() and V_USE) to act as though they
  were unsuccessful.  This is useful for testing you program logic to
  recover from such failures.
