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 :\vshare.386 where is the floppy disk drive containing the WW1000 disk and 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
