If you have a NT-server it's hard to share files. At least that's my =
experience. If I try to open a file which I'm editing in Word on another =
machine, it gives an error.=20

There might be some-way to do it, try looking at the sharing options in =
the property sheet.

Have fun,

dos.

In win95 it is built-in, as I recall.
Dos needs to have "device =3D share.exe" in its config.sys
This will enable an interrupt dos programs can use.
The interrupt will maintain the opened file, and all programs that want =
to
use the file are being fooled by a virtual file handle, and all I/O
commands, etc. are maintained by the interrupts.

Some1, please correct me if I'm wrong, this is what I concluded, but
certainly do not know for sure.
