Harry, great work!  Very scientific.  You must be an engineer or scientist
by training.
You can see though your development work is greatly speeded by running quick
tests until you get zeroed in.  And I believe if you export your results to
to Excel, then you can delete regularly and you probably won't have the
maxlocks file problem very often.   I don't.
