One potential problem - if you are relying on the filesystem's locking

I'm guessing that the volume that holds these files must be made
available to each of the client computers that is running your
application.  But remember in that case that file locking is not a
reliable mechanism on a network mounted volume. [...]

Kurt:
Thanks for your advice. This is a Windows Workgroup PTP network with 
just 3 computers; no restricted data as far as any of the users is 
concerned, so I don't see a problem there.
