Hi,

dunno how other DOSes do this, but I suggest that
FreeDOS only calls int 2f.1000 SHARE install check
when files are opened/closed, not on each access
(merge_file_changes, DosRWSft, DosLockUnlock).

Background: FreeDOS at the moment calls the SHARE
install check 100s of times even for really trivial
activities. That cannot be normal? Is that needed?

Note that FreeDOS stops calling the install check
as soon as you do install SHARE - which means you
cannot ever uninstall SHARE because FreeDOS will
fail to notice that you removed SHARE...

Comments please :-)

Eric

PS: I already have a patch for this available.
Just want to hear your opinion about possible
side effects first...
