File locking works fine from DosEmu if you just lredir a linux
directory.
This is what I use.
Two drawbacks:
1: DosEmu doesn't honor the SGID bit on directories so that means you
have to set the umask to 00x for the users using dosemu, and put them
all in the same primary group.
2: You can't run the app over the network, on for example a dos machine
as well. You can of course use telnet to work from any machine, I use
console-telnet for windows.
I have played around with the novell emulation but it works very slow,
so I had to forget about that.
I use Samba for the other file and print serving for the win boxes.
Hope this helps. If you've got more questions, feel free to ask me.
