I installed Mr. Almy's noshare last week.  So far, the only program it has
caught is the COMP file comparison utility that Microsoft ships with DOS
4.01 (not paying attention to their own policy?).  And I have 6kb more free
RAM.  Quite nice.

BTW, change the name of SHARE.{COM|EXE, I forget} to something else, or
sneaky old DOS will load it in addition to noshare without even asking.
