Dosemu supports Novell
I have this working with full file and record locking
using my dos database - Advanced Revelation - i.e. Pick for DOS
Don't know a lot about xBase databases except how to suck the data out of them.
If clipper supports novell your off to the races.

Flavio,
I told you in a reply to your personal email. Now listening from dosemu mantainers do you believe?
You could try a Clipper-like language for Linux like FlagShip, but if you read the documentation it says something like this: "do not mix windows and Linux workstations acessing the same files. Due to filesystem differences it may corrupt your database files". So problem is not only with dosemu.
The "perfect" solution is: use a database like MySQL, and make your application access the database, not the filesystem.

Anyone has an idea of where in Dosemu sources I can find the sectionmfs.c, in src/dosext/mfs, lock_file_region() and share().
concerning files lock scheme?
Problem is that DOS has 5 lock types whereas Linux only has 2 -- that's why we have to use heuristics.
Samba can on the other hand adminstrate all client accesses because it's a server but a dosemu file server (serving all dosemus) does not exist simply because it's never been an itch to really scratch for the developers (I tried to improve a bit for 1.2.0 fixing things that were even problematic with just one dosemu running, but gave up after a while).
You can see how files are locked using lsof.
