INT 2F - SHARE - INSTALLATION CHECK
AX = 1000h
Return: AL = 00h not installed, OK to install
01h not installed, not OK to install
FFh installed
BUGS: values of AL other than 00h put DOS 3.x SHARE into an infinite loop
(08E9: OR AL,AL
08EB: JNZ 08EB) <- the buggy instruction (DOS 3.3)
values of AL other than described here put PCDOS 4.00 into the same
loop (the buggy instructions are the same)
Notes: supported by OS/2 v1.3+ compatibility box, which always returns AL=FFh
if DOS 4.01 SHARE was automatically loaded, file sharing is in an
inactive state (due to the undocumented /NC flag used by the autoload
code) until this call is made
DOS 5.0 chains to the previous handler if AL <> 00h on entry
