   Yeah, IMO, if NetWare and Linux both need oplocks turned off, regardless   
   of workstation OS, I have a hard time believing Windows Server does or   
   doesn't based on workstation OS - maybe for MS products designed or   
   patched to cooperate, but not for Paradox...   
      
   Just my opinion...
