Foxbase file & record locking on OSR6



We have just move a Multi-User SCO FoxBASE+ 2.1.2 to OSR6 with MP3
installed.

When we attempt to open any .dbf file we get "Exclusive lock failed".
If we "set exclusive off" and try to open the file we see "File is in
use by another. ".

Currently "XEMUL_OSR5=1" is in the environment, but we also tried it
without the variable set.

Your thoughts will be appreciated.
