For anyone else who may be wondering, these are the types of issues I
was wondering about, and now I know:
http://www.omnis.net/sup****t/index.html?detail=3Dosxfilelocking
http://www.briandwells.com/main/Blog/Entries/2006/10/5_Subversion,_Mac_OS_X,=
_and_SMB.html
Due to these issues, and probably others if I was to search even more,
it seems to me that one would not want to use anything but very basic
file sharing in a mixed environment. Not the level of file sharing
that an ISAM database (FoxPro, Paradox, MS Access, DBase, etc) would
require to sup****t concurrent connections.
