ISSUE:

Make Shared Executables Read-Only

Executable files that will be run by more than one user at a time
need to be marked as read-only.  If they are not, then you may
notice, at times, that you are temporarily denied access to a file
you wish to run.

Example:  You may get a message that access was denied or that the
EXEfile could not be run.  If this happens, mark the executable files
read-only using the DOS ATTRIB command.  Type ATTRIB +R *.EXE in the
directory where the executable files exist.  This example marks the
*.EXE files read-only.

All shared .COM, .BAT, and .OVL files should be marked as well.  The
read-only attribute can be cleared using the same command replacing
the +R with -R.  (See DOS documentation for information on the ATTRIB
command.)
