- UNLOCK, written by Kai Iske January 11. 1995
- This is PUBLIC DOMAIN; you may do with it whatever you like
-
- If you change/republish/delete/sell the program or do anything similar, please
- be so kind to keep my name within the program and all the other files, even
- though you`re not obliged to, as for the definition of Public Domain
-
- This is just a little program to fix problems occuring with programs, leaving
- locks on objects somewhere on your HD. Have you ever had the problem, that when
- you tested a program just downloaded from a BBS, it seemed that the program
- kept a Lock() on some object on your HD? If so, you know that you can not
- delete the object (dir, file whatever), without removing the lock first or
- rebooting. I have encountered this problem lots of times, but didn`t always
- want to launch a System Monitor, to remove the outstanding locks, just to
- delete something.
-
- UNLOCK was written using SAS 6.51....
-
- !!! UnLock requires OS 2.x and up to run, UnLock is PURE !!!

- -------------------
- What does UNLOCK???
- -------------------
-
-
- As stated above, it may remove locks. Furthermore it may even show locks the
- system knows about. You may supply patterns in order to unlock more than just
- one lock. All instances of a lock, ie. all locks matching the pattern(s), will
- be unlocked.
-
- WARNING: It is extremly dangerous to unlock anything which is still in use
- (Assigns, Path-ed directories etc.pp.) This is just to unlock something you
- don`t need anymore.
-
- UnLock OBJECT/M,SHOW/S
-
- Explanation
-
- OBJECT: Pattern (or full name) of Object to be unlocked/displayed
- If you don`t specify an absolute path (like DH1:...) UnLock
- composes a name relative to the current directory.
- SHOW : If you supply this switch, UnLock will list all locks matching
- the supplied pattern(s), or all locks if you didn`t specify any
- pattern(s). Same thing will happen if you don`t specify anything
-
-
- Examples
-
- UnLock #?TCP/BIN DH1:Dummy
-
- Will unlock all locks on anthing ending with TCP/BIN and all locks on
- DH1:Dummy
-
