Curiously, neither can I with the ccp4i currently running. Maybe this info is outdated, and you should try deleting "database.LOCK" instead in the CCP4_DATABASE folder of the project that you have listed under CURRENT_PROJECT in ~/.CCP4/unix/status.def ? Although my expectation is that if a project is locked ccp4i will offer you an override option. As a random thought, check if you don't have any disk access problems (stale NFS handles and such). A drive that drops into read-only mode for some reason could cause all kinds of otherwise mysterious problems. -- "Hurry up before we all come back to our senses!" Julian, King of Lemurs
