If you try to use multiple instances of the same program (e.g. NC 
in multiple tasks), such problems are usual under a multitasker. 

You can avoid some of these problems by setting the file attributes 
of the shared files (normally the .COM or .EXE files) to 'Read-Only'
(if this is possible for your application).  Veit Kannegieser's 
small DENYNONE utility addresses a similar problem with 'old' programs 
opening files in 'compatibility mode'.  You can find a link to his 
download page from the OpenDOS section of my web-page.
