On the Linux server we use Novell's eDirectory to set up a share.
Every employee then uses Novell Client to log in to the server which
runs a script that maps that share as a drive on their computer.  From
there they can access everything on the share through Windows
explorer.  This share is where we store filePro (p.exe, rreport.exe,
rclerk.exe, etc..).
