Throwback to the past on this one.

Throwback to the past on this one... I have an old application (D5/BDE) that uses some Paradox tables. I have been having issues with stale locks on these tables preventing the application from working due to "Directory is controlled by another NET file" errors.

1) Is there any way to tell what workstations have locks registered in the PDOXUSERS.NET file? I've seen a few tools that supposedly dump these, but none are compatible with newer operating systems.
2) Is there any way to forcibly terminate these connections and free up the files for access?

I am working on migrating the data from these old Pdox tables to our newer database, but with the locks, I can't even open them to copy records :( Any help appreciated!
