Well I know some of the QNX developers and suspect they got things right ;) But really, the reason I did it, is to avoid a drastic change in behaviour for folks' current setups. Right now no QNX user has has the locking, and presumably has become accustomed to the performance of their server and hasn't had to place a LockFile anywhere in the filesystem yet... and if they used multiple sockets, with 1.3 betas it would have told them their config wouldn't work. So I just did that for the principle of "least surprise". Dean
