Re: Network file locking

Maybe operation with INI-file will be more safe with check of result:

So, write trial like

IniWrite ( "filename", "section", "key", "value" )

should be as follows

while Not IniWrite ( "filename", "section", "key", "value" )
 sleep(100)
wend

and read trial like

IniRead ( "filename", "section", "key", "default" )

should be as follows

while IniRead ( "filename", "section", "key", "default" ) == "default"
 sleep(100)
wend

Doing this you can break possible problems, I think
