Torsen,

It has been a little while since I looked at this stuff but apparently I only rebuilt DRDOS.SYS because that was the only references I found to SHARE.

So I have no tried to rebuild COMMAND.COM which is more complicated since it involves non-provided tools.

I do not have a copy of SHARE R2.06 -- Where can I get it?
