[Texmacs-dev] flock() in TeXmacs

[Frank]

Dear all,

I wish a happy new year to you all.

I write this email to draw your attention to the post 
http://forum.texmacs.cn/t/file-locks-in-texmacs/1212 . It seems that the 
current implementation imposes that, in order that a file opens, locks via 
flock() could be applied, under Unix-like systems. This seems to be an 
unnecessary restriction on the underlying filesystem, in particular when 
TeXmacs opens a file on a mounted filesystem, not necessarily local.

Best wishes,
Frank
