The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 3.1, 3.2, 3.21, 3.3, 3.3a, 4.0, 4.01, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0, 6.22 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft DriveSpace.
For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands and filenames.

MS-DOS-based versions of Lotus 1-2-3 versions 3.x may be unable to correctly
access floppy disks when SHARE is loaded.

This problem does not occur with Windows-based versions of Lotus 1-2-3.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, do not run SHARE and Lotus 1-2-3 simultaneously
when you need to access floppy disks.

For more information, contact Lotus.
