[Dev-C++] CGI File Locking across server types

[Michael D. S. <for...@hi...>]

I notice that Dev C++ has fcntl.h. My UNIX book says fcntl is the only file 
lock that works ( is implemented ) across all UNIX platforms. Working on my 
home computer it seems that Windows always locks a file that's in use, but 
then this is not a server. About those I know nothing.

Dev C++ is a Windows version and it has fcntl so I'm "assuming" it's a 
Windows compatible implementation but, if so, does it still work if the 
executable is copied to a UNIX machine, or does it have to be compiled on 
the machine it's going to be ran on?

Anyone have any experience with this? Any advice?
