- Introduction
- ------------
-
- The WW1000 disk included with this Application Note contains
- VSHARE.386 version 3.11.0.401. This version of VSHARE.386 is
- compatible with Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.1, and Windows
- for Workgroups 3.11.
-
- NOTE: Microsoft Word version 6.0a for Windows and Microsoft Office
- Manager version 4.2 install the same version of VSHARE.386 included
- with this Application Note (3.11.0.401).
-
- The only difference between the version of VSHARE.386 included with
- this Application Note and the one supplied with Windows for Workgroups
- 3.11 (version 3.11.0.300) is the added support for Windows 3.1.
-
- Using VSHARE.386
- ----------------
-
- If you are using applications that support object linking and
- embedding (OLE) 2.0, you must run either SHARE.EXE or VSHARE.386.
- VSHARE.386 eliminates the need for SHARE.EXE when you run Windows 3.1
- or Windows for Workgroups in 386 enhanced mode. If you run Windows 3.1
- in standard mode, you still need to run SHARE.EXE. If you run
- applications that are not compatible with SHARE.EXE, and you run
- Windows 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode, you may be able to use VSHARE.386
- instead of SHARE.EXE.
-
- To install the updated VSHARE.386 file
- --------------------------------------
-
- If you are running Windows for Workgroups 3.1 or 3.11 in 386 enhanced
- mode, you are already using VSHARE.386. If you are running Windows
- 3.1, use the following procedure to install VSHARE.386 version
- 3.11.0.401:
-
- 1. Quit Windows 3.1.
-
- 2. Insert the enclosed WW1000 disk in the appropriate floppy disk
- drive.
-
- 3. To copy the file to the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory, type the
- following at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER
-
- copy <drive>:\vshare.386 <destination>
-
- where <drive> is the floppy disk drive containing the WW1000 disk
- and <destination> is the drive and directory of your Windows SYSTEM
- subdirectory.
-
- For example, if the WW1000 disk is in drive A and your Windows
- directory is called WINDOWS and is on drive C, type the following
- at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER:
-
- copy a:\vshare.386 c:\windows\system
-
- 4. Using a text editor (such as MS-DOS Editor), edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- file and remove the command for SHARE.EXE.
-
- 5. Edit the [386Enh] section in your SYSTEM.INI file to add the
- following line:
-
- device=vshare.386
-
