Hi,

I see that various emacsen install lock directories in all sorts of
different places.  Can we merge them into one, or at least move them
to a more standardized location?  In particular, I hate the ones in
/usr/local.  (Writable directories in /usr/local?!?)

Right now, we have

emacs:  /usr/local/com/emacs/lock
mule:   /usr/local/com/mule/lock
xemacs: /var/run/xemacs/lock

Is there a reason why they can't all share one directory?  I don't
know about xemacs, but emacs/mule just have PID's in there so they
should be interchangable.

If we can standardize them, I propose /var/run/emacs/lock.

Satoshi
