another program tries to read it. That's not supported in windows and dos.

In win95 it is built-in, as I recall.
Dos needs to have "device = 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.
