thank you very much ... so using the :0: option makes setting the

Not necessarily. They do two different things. In general if all you want to
do is make sure different processes aren't overwriting your data, : is
prefered. However just within the last week someone came up with a clever use
for LOCKFILE here on the list. It isn't quite relevant to a discussion of :0
v. :0:, but is an interesting read.

Replies sent back to the list are more effective, as the discussion remains in
