I think I have heard that before, though I haven't experienced/verified it myself.

I am using QEMM LOADHI.SYS to load SHARE.EXE and it is working (unless there's some edge cases I missed testing).

INSTALL=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:2 C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE

File locking is working for files on the network share, if I have a file open and try to also open it in a share-aware program, it is prevented from opening.  I'm not sure if there's better, more specific, tests to do, but at least I haven't experienced any data corruption on the BBS, so I think it's OK.

I wonder if MS-DOS's LOADHIGH has a problem with SHARE.EXE that QEMM's LOADHI.SYS doesn't.  Or maybe there's another factor?
