Use the same OS? Or at least stay on NT-based systems, rather than
mixing 9x and NT....

The compat. issues are taken much more seriously now then they were
then (esp. between 9x and NT). For apps running on old platforms, they
are kind of stuck with time before such a thing existed. When apps
like Office and Jet and SQL Server have wanted to keep compatibile
orderings, they actually shipped their own tables for those
platforms....
