Locking

[Bryan Brodie]

Hi,

>From reading the V8 tech notes, I got the impression that traditional
LAN-locking of the DF1 file was no longer possible from a Mac OS (X)
client, but it seemed to me that it was still supported in Windows. Don't
know about Linux.

I've not upgraded so I cannot offer more insight, other than to say, not
every solution requires SQL and net-shared DF1 has many valid use cases.

I hate to see it go away, but that's where we're headed.

DF1-type logic would be an incredible option for solely local storage in a
truly mobile (iOS / Android) Omnis runtime (not JS/server based).

Like I've stated previously, I can dream...
