This site is running SunOS Release 4.0.3_EXPORT (LAILA) #1: It consists of 3 sun 3/50 named lage, lave and laila. The emacs is GNU Emacs 18.55.1 of Tue Mar 6 1990 on lage (berkeley-unix) Almost all files are shared and so the emacs lock-directory. As we are working on a common project we would like to use the lock files included and we have the problem that it doesn't seem to work. Almost every participant in the project has his own shortcut to the src and so the lock file for the same file are different. --- To give an idea of what it looks like I have now opened and modified the same file in three different buffers. The lock directory looks like: -rw-rw-rw- 1 linus 5 Apr 24 17:33 !home!lave!ceder!kom!server!server.c -rw-rw-rw- 1 linus 5 Apr 24 17:32 !home!lave!local!src!2kom!server!server.c -rw-rw-rw- 1 linus 5 Apr 24 17:33 !usr!local!src!2kom!server!server.c And here is the file: -rw-rw-r-- 1 ceder 523 Apr 19 00:09 server.c My own suspicions of coarse is that the different file paths are not recognized to be the same file which it is. And I have only a weak idea that by scanning the path for symbolic links when doing expand-file-name one could get a better result. DISCLAIMER: I hope that I have made a useful posting in the idea of making further approvements of the emacs. If not, please disregard this. Linus linus@lysator.liu.se
