I am using DOS 4.01 on a 12 MHZ AT compatible at home. At school I use a program that works on an IBM PC using ms-dos 2.1 or 2.?. When I attempt to use this program on the AT I get a sharing violation error message. The program states that is is compatible with dos 1.? and greater, so I am wondering if it uses the old style file structures vice the structures used in dos 3.? and greater. I have read somewhere(probably on the net) that SHARE.EXE has problems with old Dos file formats and am wondering what effect that removing SHARE will have. I have a 40Mb hard disk and am not networked to anything. Will not having share loaded do unspeakable things to my hard drive? I only plan to not have share loaded for this program only and will reboot after program execution. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
