[net.wanted] help wanted dos file sharing dma

[ this line expressly for the purpose of not promoting tooth decay ]

I need information about the SHARE program supplied with DOS 3.2. I also
need information about the way that DOS handles "network disks". The
driver level calls for opening files for sharing is documented in the 
DOS tech ref book, but I would like to know how and at what level DOS
keeps track of who has what file opened. If anyone knows of a good
reference for this information, please let me know. I also would like to
hear from anyone who has used the DMA set-up on the pc. I understand
how the kluge works, and the problems involved with the page registers,
etc, but I don't know which channels I can safely use for custom hardware.

Please mail responses. If there is enough response, I will summarize and
post.
