LOCATE [-C] lock|filename
* "LOCATE lockadress" (lockadress is a BPTR) shows information about
that lock structure. fl_Access must be -1 (write) or -2 (read).
* "LOCATE filename_or_dirname" gets an ACCESS_READ lock structure on
that file/dir. (If you type -1 after the filename you should get
an ACCESS_WRITE lock, but there seems to be an error in DOS !)
* "LOCATE -C lockadress" unlocks (removes) the lock structure.
eg. locate &21f45c {shows lock on adress $21f45c}
locate $9f5b7 {shows lock with BPTR $9f5b7}
locate -c $9f5b7 {removes this lock}
locate ram:rdit {tries to read-lock ram:rdit}
locate ram:rdit -2 {same as above}
locate c:mount -1 {got a write-lock on c:mount ?}
