From time to time, all users' application lock in such a way that nothing happens (DEL will not work) and the only solution is to kill one user's programs. Then, all the other programs will continue working as usual. Obviously, Foxbase is dead-locked trying to lock data-base records. I have the impression that deleting the file /usr/tmp/Foxlock help preventing this problem from happening again. Any ideas? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron Herrmann (jkfmny!ron, ron@jkfmny.UUCP raanan@bklyncis.BITNET)
