SHARE

 IF YOU ARE PROMPTED TO ADD "SHARE.EXE" TO YOUR AUTOEXEC.BAT

First, try to run the HAM RADIO 2000 VOL. 2 program. If the program runs  normally, share is not required. If you do not see any files listed,  then you will need to add the share.exe command. SHARE.EXE should be  located in your DOS directory. To add it to your autoexec.bat file, type the following at a DOS prompt:

“EDIT c:\autoexec.bat”

“[ENTER]”

Then add the following line to your autoexec.bat file:

"C:\DOS\share.exe /l:500"

C:\DOS\ is the path where share.exe is located. If share.exe is in a different path then you must substitute the correct path.

Then save the file and reboot.
