I have recently installed a SAMBA server on a LINUX server to be accessed by Windows 95 workstations. All other DOS based applications ran perfectly via samba but there's a COBOL accounting application I cannot make it run fine. Everytime I run it and try to execute any transaction, a COBOL SHARING VIOLATION error message appears on the screen and takes me back to the prompt. I have already tried all advice about variable concerning "sharing stuff" inside smb.conf but i am sure there must be something else i cannot figure out. I should have this job done pretty soon and sincerely i am at a loss with that problem. Any kind of help would be welcomed. best regards wilman
