I've never tried doing a simultaneous restore from a save file going after
two different objects.
I'm now wondering if that would work or not.
Something to test when there's time. It would need to take longer to do the
restore than the object lock wait time on the save file for it to be a valid
test......

Idle curiosity, mostly.
If it didn't lock it, it would freak me out if the contents of DSPSAVF
suddenly changed while I was paging through it.
Well, actually, no. That's not valid at all.
A save file (or any file / part of a file) should be locked when it's being
updated, not when it's being viewed.
So saving to a save file should lock the object exclusively ... and error
out if it can't get the exclusive lock.
Displaying, or reading (in the case of a transfer), should NOT lock a save
file because it's not being changed.
