:I really don't see any way around file locking for the type of
:application I'm trying to write. However, I guess after seeing all the
:trouble with the msvcrt module, and how it doesn't even seem to allow
:shared locking access to a file, that I will go ahead and use the
:win32all extensions. I'm supposing that will allow better control?

It appears, after a bit more research, that this will not work for all
win32 platforms, anyway. Apparently unsupported on Win95/98/Me:
