- I have a program which is to run on both a network and single user. I
- use the locks.prg supplied with clipper to do the appropriate locking
- for me. I have one version so I do the locking even if it is on a
- single user dos machine. I was running it single user yesterday (Dos
- 5.01 by the way) when it keeled over with not enough memory. I
- removed a couple of drivers so that there was enough memory for it to
- run and went in again, however when the program came to open the dbfs
- that were exclusively locked when it went down it could not
- open them(in shared mode). I presumed that the lock information was
- held in the dbfs so I deleted these and went to a backup. However
- when I tried to run the program it still wouldn't let me open the
- previously locked files. I tried moving everything to a new
- directory,still no joy. I have tried ringing Computer Associates who
- could not suggest anything. Does anyone know where the lock
- information is held ? and how I can get rid of it. This is becoming a
- real pain.

- Thanks in advance Paul
