I don't think so.  Windows 95 has a VxD called VSHARE which replaces
SHARE.EXE, and AFAIK it is loaded by default when Windows 95 starts. 
Maybe this is just one of the cases that VSHARE disallows?  I admit that I
don't know enough about VSHARE and Windows 95, but seriously, what else
but trouble can we expect when two programs write to the same file?
