Automatically flagging shareable (AREV Specific)

According to this document there is no way to automatically flag a file shareable on Netware. It seems to me then that this is something the NLM should do, for example, when an OV file is created for the first time. Does it?

Steve has got an ASM program called SETSHARE. I built a shell around the SYSOBJ of MAKETABLE (or CREATE-TABLE, or whatever) and it detects if you're on a Netware network, and if so, then flags the files as shareable regardless of their previous state.
I also use this to do a root/down set once a day at customer sites as some Client32's seem to unset the share flag (oooooohhhh! nasty for indexes!).

Larry, I sat down to write it this afternoon. Did you drop in when I was out? Unless I was inebriated when I wrote it…(fair chance)
As setting Novell share attributes uses a DOS int 21h call the BFS would have to handle it - the nlm is probably not able to make the call itself from the server in 32-bit land.
Victor E. has had limited success with some of my asm objects, so I wanted to test thoroughly first. If it's OK I will post here inside 24 hours.
