Hi Davey,

The RAM fitted isn't a problem with PQPM6.
PQPM6 can be run:
1). natively in 32-bit Windoze
2). from a PQPM-specified/created DOS-boot-floppy using DOS 32-bit extenders

Both of the above have HPFS support for all previously allowed 
operations, and in addition multiple operations can be combined into a 
script [automatically) - i.e. you specify all of the operations to be 
done first, then you commit those operations.

Version 3.05.302 for OS/2 was the final version of the *Native* PQPM, 
and *that* is what has a problem with >256MB RAM *in* *OS/2*. Probably 
because Windoze uses so much RAM, or hides it, the Windoze version of 
PQPM 3.05 will run with greater than 256MB RAM fitted, and the 
DOS-floppy-boot version (pqmagict.exe) has problems with disks >8GB. The 
Native OS/2 version handles at least up to 80GB disks, probably up to 137GB.
