Aha? ;)
But it doesn't say HOW it would go away. I think it better to move it
away(out-of-a-way) first, and then MOVE IT AWAY(for good), or not, depending
on the peoples needs...
BTW: As far as I remember, "somebody" was me myself, in the previous
approach to the problem few weeks ago. I might not be the first one
thought...

Well, I think that the files under CVS control are likely to have one, but I
think you could identify the file by it's full name as well, or some kind of
wildcard, or whatever...

Yep, I know that. But the changes are still being made, so somebody is
there... Also, I think during the transition it should still go on in a
way... The point is that even BEFORE it was sold there was a thread about
locking, and they ignored it then as well...

No. I never said I am.
I looked at the code thought - not impressive. According to my coding
standards, it is 'messy'. I do not think it would survive the review in the
places I used to work... But, anyway, I am not trying to criticise - the
logical structure seems right, and coding conventions may wary and are
changing as well... Never mind...
BR,
