I have a dos application compiled with djgpp compiler in dosemu.  A call to 
the lock() function which works in native freedos (beta 8) always returns -1 
(failed) in dosemu.  I first used dosemu 1.0.2.0 which installs with SuSE 
Linux 8.2 distribution.  I just installed dosemu-1.1.5 and observe the exact 
same behavior.  The freedos version used with dosemu-1.1.5 is: 
FreeDOS kernel version 1.1.24c (Build 2024c) [Jun 10 2001 22:25:01]

Without share.exe, the lock() return code is -1 and the dos error=14 (Share 
not loaded).  With the share from (http://www.dosemu.org/bart/share.zip) 
loaded lock() still returns -1 with a different dos error errno=26 (No space 
on drive).

I appreciate any help on this.  I have read other postings on the 'share.exe' 
topic in this list, but have not seen a resolution to this problem.
