Nope but comparing filesharing on DOS (which as just a single user = system
was not easy) & a multiuser system (including the security = settings
as to whether one is allowed to share it or not) is fairly = falacious.
Heck filesharing on DOS was such a bitch that for a while we = used Novell
DOS cos that did make it easy.
