The thought was that the dos workstations would be unhappy with ntfs. I may well have been wrong there.
I found the key bit. For a share with multiple stations sharing dbf files using CA clipper 5.2 as the program language, optlocks need to be off. The part about clipper and dbf files may not be a specific part of my problem, multiple stations attempting to share read/write acess certainly is. We have half a dozen or so dbf files that are heavily shared between perhaps 30 workstations. Setting oplocks off made a huge difference. The online help seems to suggest the opposite-- that oplocks would be a positive influence on multiple access useage, the chapter in the docs that I finally found that explains it wasn't easy to find. I didn't find it till someone else suggested this fix. When I searched with that question in mind I found it. Thanks for your help, overall samba is a very good thing.
