According to Pismo:
I need to lock records or at least files on database written with GPC on Linux system ... how?
What do you mean by "locking records"? How would you do this manually or with another programming language?

I could be wrong, but I think he means locking files by using a system call (for example, when you open a file in DOS, you can specify a flag so that nobody else can access that file while the program is using it). In Linux, it might be the group id or whatever the owner flags are called.
