Using SHARE.EXE and Sharing Violations with WinLoginLast reviewed: November 21, 1994Article ID: Q87882 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYSome MS-DOS-based networks use SHARE.EXE to provide file locking and sharing capabilities. To run WinLogin 1.0 on these networks, SHARE must be loaded on both the client and the server. Some MS-DOS-based networks, including IBM PC LAN, do not fully support the file locking (byte-range locking) necessary to use some types of databases. WinLogin will not work with these networks. For information about ordering Microsoft WinLogin, call the Microsoft Sales Information Center (MSIC) at (800) 426-9400, or mail the form supplied with the Windows Resource Kit (WRK) for the Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1.
