When I asked,

Volker Kuhlmann responded,

Thank you. But if you use the lockfile binary only for dotlocking, shouldn't
it be safe as well? Maybe not ... it does all those timing things and such.
Well, I don't really need it.

The better machine is to come in a week or so, God willing, and it should
have a compiler. That is all under the control of the owner of the domain,
and she'll tell me when it's ready.
