        !           119: \fIMH\fR has a flexible locking system for making locks on files.
        !           120: There are two \fBmtstailor\fR variables you should be aware of
        !           121: \*(lqlockstyle\*(rq and \*(lqlockldir\*(rq.
        !           122: The first controls the method of locking,
        !           123: the second says where lock files should be created.
        !           124: The \*(lqlockstyle\*(rq variable can take on three values: 0, 1, 2.
        !           125: A value of 0 says to use the flock syscall if you're running on 4.2BSD,
        !           126: (otherwise use a locking style of 1).
        !           127: A value of 1 or 2 specifies that a file should be created whose existance
        !           128: means \*(lqlocked\*(rq and whose non\-existence means \*(lqunlocked\*(rq.
        !           129: A value of 1 says to construct the lockname by appending \*(lq.lock\*(rq to
        !           130: the name of the file being locked.
        !           131: A value of 2 says to construct the lockname by looking at the device and
        !           132: inode numbers of the file being locked.
        !           133: If the \*(lqlockldir\*(rq variable is not specified,
        !           134: lock files will be created in the directory where the file being locked
        !           135: resides.
        !           136: Otherwise, lock files will be created in the directory specified by
        !           137: \*(lqlockldir\*(rq.
        !           138: Prior to installing \fIMH\fR,
        !           139: you should see how locking is done at your site,
        !           140: and set the appropriate values.
