Well you could use NFS to export to Linux clients and Samba to export to
Windows clients for the same directory.

Oh it does work for certain situations. It all depends what the DOS app
does (i.e. problems start when non-existing regions are locked, using
offsets past the end of the database). 32-bit lock offsets in Linux are
signed and 32-bit lock offsets in DOS are unsigned.
