SYMPTOMSShared access to a file on a NetWare server can fail with a sharing violation, even with the Shareable attribute set on the file at the NetWare server, when you use 16-bit applications that open the file for exclusive use. CAUSE
Some older 16-bit MS-DOS-based applications that are not network aware tend
to open files for exclusive use when in fact shared access to the file is
desired. NetWare servers can work around this by setting a Shareable
attribute on the file, which means that the server itself manages locking
issues for the file and makes it shareable between multiple NetWare
clients, even if a client application explicitly opens the file for
exclusive use.
