  12. I believe it is not possible to put this attribute on a directory.
  13.  
  14. BUT... The sharable attribute is only used by programs that open files in the
  15. "DOS 2.0 compatability mode".  If you open the files "properly" (ie DOS 3.1
  16. sharing modes) the FLAG assigned sharing attributes are ignored.
  17.  
  18. Can you have your program modified?
