Just checked the db that is on our servers, one is only 10 megs, the
other is only 1 meg.
/me bashes quickbooks

MAS90 is a very good product, but it raises hell even on NT servers.  At
one job we had mas90, we had sage (they changed their name after a class
action lawsuit regarding year 2000 bugs) come in and fix our problems...
they were never able to fix them completely, apparently, they spent lots
of time hacking our server's registry, from what I've read about what
happened (they visited before I started), they essentially hacked NT to
turn off all file locking... fun fun.
