I've got a Phoenix version labelled MSDOS 4.01, but the VER command prints
out "4.00".  Is this expected?

Does this get loaded automatically somehow?  If I boot without any config.sys
or autoexec.bat, DOS spits out a message recommending SHARE for large parti-

command indicates that SHARE is resident.  What gives?
