Set the lock to the hdimage file to prevent it from being opened by the multiple dosemu instances? Of course it is possible. > I believe this is important to avoid accidental > destruction of data! You can create the patch then. :) >>> I have no time and I can't take risk of new features :( >> I think this is a completely wrong attitude. [...] > Well, He *is* axpending quite a lot of time on this :) My interpretation was "I don't have time for testing and I can't risk, so even if someone will implement the locking for me, I won't use it". That kind of attitude I really don't understand. Of course no one will implement the locking most likely, but be that happened and not accepted to try - that would be not funny at all. :) I've seen people who ask for something and then refuse to try the solution, and I don't think they are ever dealt with again. (so this case is much better: at least it is known beforehand that the solution won't be tried, so the problem won't arise. :)
