 My apologies if this has been posted before I simply have no idea if I managed to
succeeded in posting it earlier or not. In desperation I again had to resort to Netscape in
MS ad I simply can not figure out what is generating the lock file that is locking me out
in Linux.  I just check my mail in MS I am not not getting a message that would indicate
that this has been posted so again my apologies if it has been.
