Is there an advantage to using DOS' "Share"?  I know, like any "GOOD"
user of a multi-tsking machine, I should make sure two things aren't
modifying the same file, so use SHARE, but I encountered a strange error
once, and I really don't think Share is that necessary.  When I started
Windows (with Share loaded), the background came up, things started to
load, but then I received a "Share Violation" error...  But... I wasn't
doing anything which would spawn that error!?
Is it really necessary to have Share loaded?  What if two things modify
the same file in a Windows environment?  Won't Windows take care of that?

Any advice is a help!
-Dave
