Has anyone seen this on a non-Unix/Linux platform? Under VMS, a second attempt to open the file for writing would cause no problems, since it would simply create a new version of the file. But Linux doesn't have versioning like this, so either new files would have to be created, or the second process would have to wait for an exclusive lock to be released. === Gregory Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Interaction is the mind-body problem of computing." --Philip L.
