final diskette for Fdisk and thereby installed new IBM BMgr and made it
"startable".  I'm happy with the drive letter assignments (OS/2
desired partition is now "D") but I cannot set it installable.  I
have DFSee but it is so powerful and so wide that it could take me a week,
being new to it, to figure out how to use it to set the partition
installable, and I'm not certain that is essential anyway.

Hi Jimmy,

Quickie - VCU hasn't run on an eCS install for the last two versions 
1.1/1.2 AFAIK - I can't remember if even running on MCP2 either.
I did see your other message but have to rest the eyes for a couple 
hours or more - and have extensive odoema of the feet/ankles/lower 
shins  - which is trying to tell me something I guess!
