<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I downloaded and installed the new native version of winGRASS
yesterday. The installation apparently was successful but when I tried to start
GRASS after I selected the location and mapset it flashed the following message:</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Locking is not supported in Windows!</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>and close the window.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I did not install PG 8.1 since I have the 8.0 version and I
wanted to save the trouble so I modify the grass.bat the see at the 8.0 folder.
Anyway the problem seems more OS related than PG related. My OS is XP professional
SP2.</span></font></p>
