Swiv,

 Can you suggest any ways to determine if a process is running via TCL in all
platforms? Although I feel that this is a valid issue, I do not currently see a
way around it.

If a lockfile is used, and the program crashes, How do we determine if another
client is really running or if the previous session crashes (ahem, windows)

Open to suggestions here, otherwise looking to document the fact that running
multiple copies of OV is bad...

I already know this is bad for one other reason.... try opening two OVs and
turn logging on in both of them via textchat window... big mess!!!

Any other suggestions to fix?
