Re: Does trying to add a trigger lock the file?

One suggestion, if it is that much of a bear to get a lock, add an 
extremely basic program as a trigger, and have it call your other 
programs.  That way the lock won't be a problem when you have to 
add/modify programs.  And, until you get this working, I'd leave your 
*inlr on upon exit until you get it thoroughly stress tested.  That way 
the current version of the program gets loaded.

Probably not, but there's only one way to find out.

And I can say from direct experience that adding, removing, or DOING
ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF to the trigger(s) on a file requires an
*EXCL lock.
