*Description*
-------------
As practice has shown, it is a quite common case that OOo is used to
edit documents of alien formats on network.
Unfortunately it looks to be impossible to let the file be locked
using file system locking, since it does not work in heterogeneous
file systems as expected, and the mentioned scenario has been
recognized as very important one. Thus the locking mechanics of OOo is
not recognizable for third-party applications, except they implement
support for OOo locking mechanics.
The implementation in childworkspace fwk94 let the alien files be
locked using the OOo file locking mechanics as well. That solves at
least the cases when a file of alien format is edited only by OOo3.x
in network.
