A customer using my progs (pure Clipper/NTX) is going to buy new server
with WIN 2008.
Should I expect any problems?
Oplocks?

I have a client with a peer to peer netwk, "server" is w2k (server for
the clipper app), client is xp-home. no pb at all. Your app must be
linked with blinker 7.x

If the server only stores your application so that the workstations open it and run it, than there will be no problem (so far your WS are running with W2K/WXP)
If you plan to run your App unter Win2008Server (e.g. in Terminalserver) Than you have no chance: W2008 dos not run 16bit applications.

Have you ever tried running it inside DOSBox?
