Could someone explain this?

I've also seen this in the DOSEMU documentation.

Samba has tons of locking options and I've used it to serve various 
database apps to Windows boxes.

Is there some particular way in which it doesn't have locking for DOS 
apps or is this a more general issue.

(I have a db app written in Clarion that I need to run on DOSEMU so this 
is more than a hypothetical question.)

Thanks,
Michael
