README of PATCH301.EXE
Product: DR DOS 6.0
Description: This patch removes the check for SHARE in the
'check_not_open' routine, so if a program opens a file it can still be
deleted. This caused a problem with a program called Money Manager which
opens temporary files then deletes them. This failed if SHARE was loaded.
This patch is optional.
