It does not use an ODBC driver to connect to the DB4
environment... if you upload it to an SQL database

I mean either OS9 or OSX.. currently the company that
produces the software does not support OSX so

File locking may be native but for a MAC OS
environment the executables have to remained locked at
all times otherwise the software becomes a single user
application sitting on the network.
