LockEdit - TPU/EDT with File Lock

Normal EDT and TPU do not lock the input file while they are editing it. When more than one user has access to a file, and both try to edit it at the same time, the result is that the person who exits first will lose all his changes when the second user exits.

The LOCK-EDIT.EXE program accepts the same qualifiers as EDT or TPU, but activates the editor using that program's API. It also takes out a lock using the Lock Manager which ensures that only one LockEdit caller can edit a file at a time. Any subsequent users are informed which user has the file open, and the program then exits.

LockEdit comes with full sources and documentation (and no formal support).
