Yup, global search and replace is missing!
My solution is to use Emacs!  If you can get ahold of a set of 1.2 beta
disks, C/As MicroEmacs is quite good.

Use struct FileLock.  I had this problem also.  Also, if you are using the
AmigaDOS functions you must CAREFULLY examine your code and determine when
a FileLock that you pass in is going to be kept permanently by AmigaDOS
and NOT free it, as well as when it is not going to be kept and free it.
Send email for specific cases if you have trouble...I spent many hours
trying to find 16 lost bytes...
