can you elaborate? I mean, to what extend is the lock by RandomAccess File better or safer than streams one

Paralife - sorry for the delay - just noticed your question. The locks from streams are going to be read locks (for input streams) and exclusive, full channel write locks (for output streams). My experience has been that the locks from RAF allow for more fine grained control (i.e. you can lock portions of a file).
