Incorrect.  I thought I posted on this, but maybe it didn't get
everywhere the first time...

I added HDB-style LCK files to xcomm a couple of weeks ago, but
managed to miss updating the docs before posting the source.  Xcomm
respects and creates HDB-style LCK files, and can be safely installed
setuid-uucp if you wish.

BTW, I have had one report that the shars refused to unpack properly.
I can't reproduce it from the originally-posted articles on my host;
if anyone else is having such troubles, I'd appreciate a note.
Something may have become corrupted along the way.
