   INTRODUCTION
   ============

   The Locking project demonstrates how to lock files when this COBOL system
   is used in a multi-user environment. For more information, see the chapter
   "Sharing Files" in the online book "File Handling".

   SOURCE FILES
   ============
   
   locking.cbl 	This is the main program in a suite of programs that
                  demonstrate how to use this COBOL system in a
                  multi-user environment. From this main program, a
                  number of sub-programs can be called:

   stockin.cbl    This sub-program acquires no locks because it OPENs for 
		      INPUT only. 

   stockioa.cbl   This sub-program locks single records automatically.

   stockiom.cbl   This sub-program demonstrates manual locking of multiple
                  records. 

   stockout.cbl   This sub-program locks the whole data file MUSTOCK.DAT,
                  because the access mode is output only.
