Does anybody know if DupLock returns the LOWEST file descriptor that the process is not currently using (as the UNIX dup function)? Thanks. -- -+= SAM =+- "the best things in life are free" ARPA: paolucci@snll-arpagw.llnl.gov

DupLock() does not return a "file descriptor", it returns a BCPL pointer to some memory it allocated to hold the FileLock structure. Anyway, it doesn't work in anyway like the UNIX dup() function. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
