Concerning debate about whether SHARE needs to be loaded or not to run large disk volumes under MS-DOS v 4.01: I have never taken any steps to load SHARE, either; it is certainly not in my CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT. But the MS-DOS documentation indicates that the program is loaded AUTOMATICALLY when a large partition is used. Running "mem /program" on the system I use, which includes a 65-MB partition, shows that SHARE is indeed loaded. I suspect that MS-DOS loads it automatically, as advertised, and only squawks when and if it can't find the code.
