Just like between Harbour and Harbour or Clipper and Clipper.

I do not know about any bugs in locking schemes which had to be fixed
breaking backward compatibility.

It will not help if you do not set in all applications the same
locking scheme and CP or if you do not use network/OS layer which
supports necessary synchronization mechanisms on all client
platforms.
It doesn't matter you are using only Clipper, Harbour, xHarbour,
xbase++, CLIP, FlagsShip, ... or mixed applications to access the
same data. Each of them has to be configured in exactly the same
way.
