- SHARE.EXE: Status Report 5
-
- When loading the server, you may get "Status Report 5", which
- talks about SHARE.EXE not being loaded when the SERVER.EXE was
- executed. SHARE.EXE is a program that comes with DOS 3.1 or
- above. SHARE is the mechanism that allows files to be accessed
- simultaneously from multiple clients. If you get Status Report
- 5, you do not have SHARE.EXE in your PATH. Either add the
- appropriate directory to your PATH (where SHARE.EXE is located)
- or copy SHARE.EXE to the directory where NetWare Lite is
- installed. Although loading SHARE is not required for the server
- to run, it is strongly recommended. SHARE should be loaded
- before SERVER. SHARE should be tuned for proper performance.
- You may need to increase the values for locks (/L) and files (/F)
- if you run database applications, or if you have more than 4
- users accessing the server. See your DOS documentation for more
- information on configuring SHARE. You do not need to load SHARE
- before loading CLIENT.
-
- Note that when you increase the number of files that can be
- locked at one time (i.e., by increasing the /L: above the default
- of 20), you must also increase the amount of file space in the
- operating system's storage area (done by increasing the /F: above
- the default of 2048). Generally each open file requires an
- additional 20 bytes of storage space. See your DOS documentation
- for more information.
