Hi,

I've been using the file-lock library for a while now and it seems that on
8.1.1 STREAM::FILE-HANDLE is no longer available (which is what this
library was using).

Is this on purpose? If so, what can I do to remedy the situation so that I
can get my code to work again?

Is this library maybe not written correctly? I'm a bit torn here, I have to
get some code working asap, but a downgrade is going to be a painful
process given all the touch points I found during the upgrade. I guess my
process will now improve to make sure upgrades are safer for me to
rollback...

How do you guys handle this type of thing?

Regards,

Eben Bruyns
