A friend has written some software using the DOS multitasker Omniview.

One of the tasks does all the writing to the shared data files, while
the other tasks exclusively do reads.
The problem under MS DOS 3.3 is that the reading tasks must close the file
and reopen it whenever the writing task extends the length of the file,
otherwise they won't be able to read the new data.  It thinks the end
of file is still the same as when it opened it.   

This problem doesn't exist under DR DOS 5.0, the reading tasks don't have
to close/reopen to get the new EOF.

Is this problem fixed in MS DOS 5.0?  I run this software as well, and
since he's using DR DOS, he doesn't need to worry about any of this.
I don't like DR DOS and will be going to MS DOS 5 when its released.

I am running SHARE with MS DOS 3.3.

Thanks,
