I got a CGI script that is being used by multiple users.
It reads/writes data to a database (text file).
When it reads, it reads the entire file, and when it writes, it
tuncrates and rewrites the entire file.
Can/will this screw up the file if two people try to write to the file
at the same time?
How do I prevent problems? (SQL/MySQL is not an option)
