The engine. In theory it supports concurrent access. In practice, it
seems that access is frequently blocked by locks generated by some
other user who was working on it hours ago and is now out of the
office. Not to mention the times when the lock file gets so badly
corrupted that the resolution is to just delete it.

I haven't used it in some time though, so maybe it's gotten better.
