VSHARE in FPW 2.6

I'm having a problem wih Windows 3.1's VSHARE. It does not seem to
work like DOS-level SHARE -- specifically, when this code is run

USE <database> SHARED (or SHARE)

then look in the Database settings in the SET window, the Database and
Indexes are shown as opened EXCLUSIVE.

Does anyone run VSHARE successfully in a multi-user Novell setting
with FPW26? If you are not, how are you running multi-user apps?
I've always used DOS SHARE but cannot this time as it conflicts with
our TCPIP software.

Thanks, Mike

Yep. We're using vshare.386 and it seems to work fine on a 3.12 net.
