MORE INFORMATIONThe Share program provides the range locking functionality to Microsoft Excel that is required in object linking and embedding (OLE) version 2.0 operations. If you are using Microsoft Excel version 5.0 under Windows version 3.1, or under Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 in standard mode, the MS-DOS Share program must be run before you start Windows. If you are using Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 or 3.11 in enhanced mode, an equivalent of the Share program (VSHARE.386: see below) is automatically loaded for you. If the Microsoft Excel Setup program detects that Share (or an equivalent such as VSHARE.386) is not loaded on your computer, the SHARE command is added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. You do not need to run the MS-DOS Share program if you run Microsoft Excel under Windows for Workgroups 3.1 or 3.11 in 386 enhanced mode. Windows for Workgroups uses a comparable file-sharing utility called VSHARE.386.
