30.0.50; Lock files are not deleted on Windows 98 |
Date: |
Mon, 10 Jun 2024 23:07:38 +0800 |
With lock files enabled, type C-x C-f C:/WINDOWS/Application Data/.emacs
RET, modify the file, and type C-x C-f, whereupon such a warning will be
displayed:
Warning (unlock-file): Invalid argument, `~/.emacs', ignored
I don't recall whether it was because lock files were disabled on the
same machine that this issue wasn't present in Emacs 28.1, or it was
because the issue was introduced in a subsequent release.

Thanks, I've now installed the followup bits. Po Lu, please test if
the result works on Windows 9X when you have time.
I'm closing the bug for now; please reopen with new information if the
new code still doesn't work.
