I have been following the 'Clipper Locks' issue raised by Anderson 
Pereira Ataides [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] and replied to by Matthew 
Nuzum [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

We have some experience with file locking issues related to Clipper apps 
running under DOSEMU.

The problem is not with DOSEMU itself, but rather with differences in 
file locking and caching techniques between DOS/Windows and Linux. 
Installing and configuring the most recent version of SAMBA (2.2.4) on a 
computer running the most recent Linux kernel versions (2.4+) can resolve 
the file locking problems. For more specific info, refer to 
http://samba.org, especially 
http://samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/smb.conf.5.html#KERNELOPLOCKS

Hope you find this useful...
