Are you a DOS 4.0 user with a large disk partition who can either: 1. Run SHARE.EXE, wasting the valuable 640k space and being burned by programs that lock up files unexpectedly. or 2. Not run SHARE.EXE and get your disk corrupted by lingering old programs that do DOS 1 ("CP/M") style file accessing? Well I had enough of this, and was seriously contemplating going back to DOS 3.3 when I got the great idea of writing NOSHARE.COM. This tiny TSR simply returns the "failed" code to any program which tries to open a file using functions 0FH or 16H. Naturally, use this program at your own risk (and make sure SHARE.EXE is *NOT* loaded). It worked for me, as I caught some culprit programs. If someone at Microsoft (especially) thinks this program is either dangerous or worthless, please post! section 1 of uuencode 3.16 of file noshare.com by R.E.M. begin 644 noshare.com MZ0@`]`$`````"@"\FA_'!@4!F!^]_A^)+@<!_.@Z`+@`3,TA`````(#\#W0*` M@/P6=`4N_RZ``+#_SUY86EL>CMNT)<TA'__FM#7-(8G8C,/#N@H`N``QS2'H> M2@`'3D]32$%21>A1`.@\``M">2!4;VT@06QM>>@_`+@A`.C)_Z,D`8D>)@&ZB M)`%2NH``4KH6`%+H40",R%"ZA`!2NB$`4NB7_^FK_UN*!S#D0U-0`<-86E.)= MT^DA`+@-`.@)`+@*`.D#``$``*+&`;1`N0$`NL8!BQ[$`<TAPXG!B=J+'L0!; 3M$#-(<-;65]>XP:,V([`\Z3_XZ3_F `` end sum -r/size 53542/375 section (from "begin" to "end") sum -r/size 4841/244 entire input file Tom Almy toma@tekgvs.labs.tek.com Standard Disclaimers Apply
