Greetings to all:

I'm working with a customer developing a fairly large-scale application
using multiple Turbo databases (like about 15).  We're trying to establish
a mechanism to enforce locking rules, since we are locking multiple
data bases over the life of a transaction.  I want to have a "standard"
which dictates the order every program uses to lock the multiple databases,
and then have some way to enforce programs to do that.  We are localizing
all DBLOCK calls into one copylib, so enforcement should be rather easy,
if I can just figure out some nifty way to do it.

BTW, the customer is not happy with the idea of managing his own
deadlocks, so a whole lot of intricate coding may be out.
