What? Set the lock to the hdimage file to prevent it from
being opened by the multiple dosemu instances? Of course
it is possible.

You can create the patch then. :)

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. :)
