Locking a file or record was as far as I went with coping with networked programming.  Kids can be responsible for that within their little bit of code.<br><br>Managing a queue for access to files would, I believe, be beyond the scope of what is expected of students. Such control would have to be outside of their code, and be OS-dependent, wouldn&#39;t it?<br>

Hi all,<br>
   has anyone given thought to concurrency - since<br>
we are in a networked environment.  Do we have<br>
to cater for locks and deadlocks, perhaps queues<br>
for access to files - esp during the coding SAC.<br>
I do not see any mention of these issues in the course<br>
statements, but I cannot see how you could do a good job<br>
in a network environment without looking at them.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Russell Quinn<br>
