I believe that if SHARE.COM is in your root directory (C:\) and you have large media, DOS 4.01 will load SHARE automatically for you. If you don't have SHARE.COM in your root, DOS will just complain. If you have large media and don't load SHARE, you run the risk of having an ill-behaved application trash your hard disk. -- Steve "I don't speak for Microsoft" Hastings ===^=== ::::: uunet!microsoft!steveha steveha@microsoft.uucp ` \\==|
