The corruption of the databases you had with linux/samba is probably due to
file sharing/locking problems. We have tested file locking/sharing with
dosemu 1.1.5.0 and freedos kernel.sys 2032 (no share.exe needed for dosemu)
using nfs mounted network drives with linux/dosemu clients. File
sharing/locking works well with this configuration We are not using clipper,
but if clipper supports multiuser file locking/sharing it should work. We
have not tested locking with samba mounted network drives.
