This is what I'm concerned about. This old app is written in Clarion. I 
have no idea how it handles locking. It was using Lantastic for data 
file sharing, but Lantastic appears to be a technology that has never 
been implemented on Linux.

This one will be "homogeneous" in that there will be no mixing of DOS 
and Win, so I hope that might enable it to work like it once did.

If any has a clue how a Lantastic app would behave on Samba, I'd sure 
like to hear it.

Thanks,
