Exactly the way I do it...

I did this this way because if the station holding the semaphore lock crashes, after a shor ttime the server will release the resources that station had locked, therefore if in attempting to get a semaphore I found one that someone else had gotten I could try RLock() and if I failed then the existing semaphore is valid, if I succeeded to get a lock then the semapghore that exists is bogus (maybe a crash or a system shutdown) so I can allow the new process to have a semaphore.
