Multiple Users Concurrently Editing Processing Tables

[Bob Stockler]

A thread on the filePro Mailing List the other day encouraged
me to write a filePro Processing Table that could substitute
for the "Define Processing" choice on the filePro Main Menu.

It permits but one user at a time to edit a processing table,
writing a lockfile of it's own to prevent such.

If a user editing a table exits inappropritely, or doesn't exit,
the lockfile remains.

If on UNIX/Linux, or on Windows and filePro v5.0.13 or later,
the name of the user LOCKing it is shown as editing it if
another user trys to edit it.

It emulates the filePro "Define Processing" choice quite
accurately, with some added features (eg: it allows the choice
of what the Associated Automatic Processing Table might be).

Would this be of interest to anyone?
