Share

In computing, share is a command for MS-DOS that allowed software to perform file locks. Locking files became necessary when MS-DOS began allowing files to be accessed simultaneously by multiple programs, either through multitasking or networking. There were five locking modes: Deny None Deny Read Deny Write Deny All Compatibility (designed for backward compatibility with existing MS-DOS programs) The program runs as a Terminate and Stay Resident program and is typically loaded at boot-up.
