"We will make the lock persistent such that the only way to unlock a file is to either issue an unlock or close the file on the last LUN which has it open."
I hope this is true ONLY for the original program and not the ENTERed program. The current behavior of Comet allows for a CLOSE ALL with no effect on the original program.
So if an ENTERed program need to access the LOCKed file, then it is up to the programmer to make sure the LUN stays opened (inherited) otherwise if it closes it then it loses access to it. But the LOCK should remain.
The only exception I can think of rigth now, is an EXIT ALL that should close & unlock all open files for each ENTERLEVEL.
Each file can be a maximum of 1MB in length Uploaded files will be purged from the server on a regular basis.
