Yes, in the SYSTEM.INI file, there is a "device=vshare.386" directive.

No one has been able to confirmed that there is a conflict when using a mix
of the 4DOS command processor and SHARE.EXE with WfW311, but I was able to
copy all the directories / files from the Fidonet/DOS box to the XPP
machine (over the network, for backup to CD) _WITHOUT_ SHARE.EXE being
installed.

I suspect that I really don't require share to be installed, but I would
also be willing to listen to someone who can help me resolve the file
locking problems I receive with share when I'm not using WfW...

           Thanks ... Gerald
