Sorry if you get two copies of this; mailer trouble. I am toying with the idea of writing file locking code to use the Apollo system calls. But I want to be philosophically consistent with what GNU-emacs does now, and I don't want to do it at all if someone else has already done it. So.... 1) Why does GNU-emacs manage its own file-locking instead of using system built-ins? 2) Where else besides the obvious filelock.c do I need to hook in to the existing code? 3) Has anybody else already done this? thanks,
