| I'm running 5.0.14 and I found the showlock.Linux in the /fp/util/bin
| directory.  I renamed it to showlock and copied it to my /usr/local/bin
| directory.
| 
| I now get: Usage:  showlock [-] filename [filename ...]  when I run
| lock.info.  It looks like I'll have to tweak the lock.info script and it
| might be working again!

Jerry Rains edited my original "lock.info" script (for some
reason or other) when preparing the UNIX/Linux installation
programs.

I haven't compared the two.  But I recall having to edit my
original "lock.info" script to accomodate Linux.

If you have any more problems you can't solve, write me off
list and I'll try to help.
