HOW TO USE SHARE.EXE

**This tip comes to us from GWRepJohn (thanks!)**

This tip should help minimize the dreaded 'Bad handle ....'  message as well as frequent crashes. 

Copy SHARE.EXE to the ROOT directory of the hard drive you boot from. PC/GEOS should automatically detect and use it when necessary as well as make any adjustments if required. 

You can accomplish the same adjustment by including the line:

     INSTALL=C:\SHARE.EXE /F:4096           (DOS 4.x only)

in your Config.sys file, or the line:

     C:\SHARE.EXE  /F:4096                          (DOS 3.3 and DOS 4.x)

in your Autoexec.bat file. In Preferences, click on the PC/GEOS icon and change the 'Number of Handles' to 2000. Also make sure you have the lines:

              FILES=30
              BUFFERS=30

in your Config.sys file.

** Remember, you have to exit PC/GEOS, coldboot your PC and run PC/GEOS again before the changes can take effect. **
