Busy NT 4.0 SP system, 20 users, all users Win98 2nd Ed. Unnecessary Lock conflicts with DOS based application software where there should not be any. Other installations with same configuration/software work fine.

For greatest compatibility with multi-user MS-DOS applications, you need to disable read-ahead and write-behind caching on the Win9x workstations, to minimize lock times. These configuration options are in the advanced settings of the Performance tab of the properties of My Computer.
