Seems BeOS has neither fcntl nor lockf

[Allen Reese]

Sure...  They are quite sick of  me complaining that I can't add IPX
support.  Openldap had this problem with slapd, they have a stepping back
workaround.

they use, lockf(), or fcntl() then fall back to flock()...
It shouldn't be too hard to get lockf() working, Hey I remember where the
source to BeOS lockf is.  the source to libroot, has the source to lockf()
in it.  for some reason it isn't compiled on BeOS.  anyhow here's the path
to libroot source off a R4.5 cd:

/BeOS\ R4.5\ x86/_packages_/extras/optional/develop/libroot/

somewhere in there should be lockf.c  which contains it.  ;)
