This came to me from mlord@bwdls58.bnr.ca (Mark Lord) following this
discussion on the net:


In article <140@thor.UUCP> scjones@thor.UUCP (Larry Jones) writes:

It is called NOSHARE.COM, and it does NOT output a message when causing
an FCB operation to fail -- the attempt simply fails, and the application
usually complains about "disk full" or something equally silly.  It has 
only caught two programs on my system, both of which were INSTALLation
programs for something else.  For those, I simply load SHARE.EXE temporarily.

I did NOT write this, but it works just fine for me under MSDOS 4.01.
