- Did you have to do anything special to get demacs working with
- Desqview/X? If I try to run demacs under Desqview/X, it reboots my machine! This
- is with Desqview 1.02 and demacs 1.2.0.
-
- Also, has anyone else had problems with file locking? Many times when I
- attempt to edit a file, I get the message "Cannot load file "userlock"" and
- demacs refuses to change the file. Other times it works fine. I also get a lot
- of "File has changed since last read. Save anyway?" stuff, which I know is
- incorrect since this is a truly single-user machine.
