/*
** is_share() - This is a routine that allows a program to determine
** if file-sharing is enabled at run-time.
**
** What does this code do? First - it checks to make sure
** it is running under DOS 3.0+ - otherwise - no sharing.
** Next, it opens the program itself (the .EXE file) by using
** "argv[0]". This argument points to the actual program name
** complete with the path under DOS 3.0 or later. It then
** attempts to lock the first 500 bytes of the program on
** disk. If successful (i.e. return != -1), it unlocks the
** locked bytes and closes the file (actually the unlock is
** superfluous since closing the file releases all locks) and
** returns the a "TRUE" (1) result. If it fails, it closes
** the .EXE file and returns a "FALSE" (0) result. Note that
** this does not depend on opening a file in shared mode to
** test it.
**
** Example of usage:
**
** main(int argc, char *argv[])
** {
** int sharing;
**
** sharing = is_share(argv[0]);
** .
** .
** if (sharing)
** {
** // open file in shared mode
** ...
** }
** else
** {
** // use "normal" open
** ...
** }
** }
