		<term><anchor id="SHAREMODES"/>share modes (S)</term>
		<listitem><para>This enables or disables the honoring of 
		the <parameter moreinfo="none">share modes</parameter> during a file open. These 
		modes are used by clients to gain exclusive read or write access 
		to a file.</para>

		<para>These open modes are not directly supported by UNIX, so
		they are simulated using shared memory, or lock files if your 
		UNIX doesn't support shared memory (almost all do).</para>

		<para>The share modes that are enabled by this option are 
		<constant>DENY_DOS</constant>, <constant>DENY_ALL</constant>,
		<constant>DENY_READ</constant>, <constant>DENY_WRITE</constant>,
		<constant>DENY_NONE</constant> and <constant>DENY_FCB</constant>.
		</para>

		<para>This option gives full share compatibility and enabled 
		by default.</para>

		<para>You should <emphasis>NEVER</emphasis> turn this parameter 
		off as many Windows applications will break if you do so.</para>

		<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">share modes = yes</command></para>
