Claudia,

Thanks for your reply

The lock seems to be working properly and I do have write permissions to 
/var/lock (its set to 777). Just for testing I did un-comment $_ttylocks 
= "/var/lock" but that made no difference. I can start xdosemu and get 
the DOS prompt, just as soon as I start my app (ProcomPlus) my system 
freezes, keyboard and mouse are locked and a hard boot is required to 
get things back. Any other suggestions?

Thanks again,
Rick Knight
