- I am running ELM 2.4 on ODT 2.0 with MMDF with no problems. You need
- to configure ELM to use fcntl file locking, since that is what MMDF
- uses by default. If you fiddled with the MLCKTYPE parameter in your
- mmdftailor file, then you will need to reconfigure ELM to match the
- locking method chosen.
