	It will fork and lock a specified file, returning a pid. When your
shell (or perl, I suppose) scripts wants to release the lock it kills
the specified pid, causing the lock to be released. I have tested it on 
Linux, Solaris, and AIX.

	If you want it please contact me off list (unless other people are
interested too).
