I tried to get Windows 3.1 working and managed to do just that...

However i find almost ALL good apps and a bunch of games require "share.exe" to work.... Which just so happens to not work under DOSBOX and i found topics going back almost a decade about this problem and still its not fixed...

Is it ever going to be fixed?

I mean it cant exactly be hard since the source code to share.exe is readily available on the net (It cant be that hard to port it to DOSBOX can it?)

Simply searching for "Dos 6.0 source code leak" on google returns thousands of web pages.....

It's not a matter of coding ability. It's about how share.exe works.

If you really need Share for GAMES then use a hard drive image. Then you can use share all you want.

Well the problem with an image....

Is it destroys ur ability to use folders as virtual drives and it causes a lot of other problems.....

(because you are now using ms-dos and not dosbox's dos.... which needless to say destroys just about all dosbox functionality with the dos)
