Exactly when should SHARE.EXE be loaded for use by Windows?  Why,
exactly, is it needed?

Background:

I'm running a PS/2-55SX with a 60 Mb drive under DOS 4.01.  The disk
is formatted as one large volume.  SMARTDRV.SYS complains that SHARE
needs to be loaded for large drives.

I'm also, however, connected to a Novell network.  If I do load SHARE
in this environment, Windows hangs the machine whenever I try to start
an application.

Things *seem* to run ok without SHARE.
