I haven't touched DataPerfect for 14 years and back then, it was a data conversion of existing DP database files into some other data format. What I remember and at least the available DP manuals also state is that DP is using the very basic DOS "(un)lock file region" call of DOS 3.0+ to allow concurrent access to the same database on a network. That would be specifically INT21h/AH=5Ch, and that call needs to be properly supported in FreeDOS to begin with. Any file caching software should not touch access to networked drives (on the clients) and on the local machine that acts as server, it needs to be aware of the locking call and act accordingly...
