What happens if you set FCBS to 0 in config.sys? I don't use a 4.xx system
my self so i don't know, but at least logicaly it should make old fcb programs
fail.

I have 1 document about PC-Dos 4.00 from when it was new that says
"a fcb call to disk larger than 32MB will fail if share is not loaded"
though it doesn't say in what way it will fail...
