I booted (*) into DOS from Windows '98 SE. The function failed with errno ==
EINVAL. "dir \\somemachine\someshare" from COMMAND.COM also failed with a "bad
value" message.

This is OK, I think.

I'm guessing you were worried that it might not fail, when there is no support
for UNCs. If that's the case, then I guess we could try to get the LAN Manager
version first (Int 21h/5F30h). If we can't get the version, then it should
just abort. We could do this as part of share_init(), so that we only get the
version once.

(*) By "boot" I mean I selected "Command Prompt only" at the boot menu. I
didn't try the MS-DOS mode option from the Shutdown menu. Well, I did, but
Windows crashed. Besides, "MS-DOS mode" isn't as pure DOS as selecting
"Command Prompt only" from the boot menu.

Bye, Rich =]
