Hi! I have a Win3.1 emulation running in DOSBox, and a Win3.1 program I just installed requires SHARE.EXE to be loaded before it runs. Is SHARE available in DOSBox? If so, how do I use it?

it's not available.
you can use fakeshare which works with win3.1 stuff, although if you need the functionality itself, you have to look at a different program.

I could not find Fakeshar when I last looked for it, but did find a similar program that does the same thing, called Noshare. I uploaded it at the end of this thread:

Help loading fakeshar.com

I successfully got Office 4.3 to run with this.

Is this too much voodoo?
