We'll return to Bob Wright and John Thompson's

True, though easier usually means "less flexible".

True, though you could use Partition Magic, if you have enough space to
dedicate to a separate OS/2 partition.  It's worth having a copy of PM
around anyway, brilliant program! :-)
 BW> c) if (B) and you don't have a tape drive for use in creating a full

I have plenty of network drive space for that, as well as access to
a CD burner.

Boot Manager does this too.  I sometimes boot to DOS for the same
reason (Or NT4, which is currently broken :( ).
... How do you tell when bagpipes are out of tune?
