Author Clarion 3.0 network help needed

We have a DOS app created in Clarion 3.0 we are running under an
ethernet network. Our server and most of the PCs are WIN 98SE. I have
a PC with WIN2000 also accessing the server datafiles.

I am getting recently a lot of drive reading errors on the PCs on the
network. They come at strange times; for example, when someone is
saving a record, when another user just enters data into a variable for
a sub-search on a datafile, and it's always a problem opening up a
file, a different one each time, when the error comes. On my WIN2000
machine, I recieved a general protection error, when I look at
XTRACE.txt, I see CS:IP segment errors and under the call chain
section, it lists 7 segments, the number of which corresponds to the
number of orphan $$$ files on the server folder.

It seems as though the $$$ files are somehow responsible for way to rid
ourselves of the $$$ orphans is to do a reboot of the system, because
you cannot delete these - it seems that the server has put a hold on
these files, or thinks that they are still being used, when they're
not. When we reboot and delete these files, we're OK for a while.

If anyone has any insight as to what may be happening, or if our
WIN2000 PC may be affecting this problem, seeing as it is a relatively
new addition to our existing network of WIN98 SE PCs, I'd like to hear
about it. Also, we've made a few changes to the app and added a few
things- it is possible that the code may be responsible for some of it.

Any advice would greatly be appreciated.
