Well, that *is* nice to hear.  I wonder if it is still true.

Unfortunately, PowerQuest made it (and Drive Image) less and less useful to OS/2 
users over time, even before they got swallowed up by Symantec.  The final 
version of Drive Image, before it became Norton Ghost, wouldn't run on anything 
other than Windows 2000 or XP.  What use is that?
