- The file is opened with TRUNCATE or CREATE options.

- SH_DENYRW share mode is set.

- The file already exists.

- The file size is equal to f_size.

==========

To resolve this problem, use any one of the following methods:

- Use the Windows for Workgroups 3.11 or Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS 3.11 full
  redirector.

- Use the Windows for Workgroups 3.11 protected-mode redirector.

- An updated NET.EXE file is available to correct this problem. Replace the
