I just picked it up a couple days ago. Believe it or not, it seems to work
fine in a DOS session under OS/2! Now I can back up my Win95 partition,
LFN's and all without ever leaving OS/2. This is a definite plus, as the
Win95 backup software doesn't seem to have a text-mode restore facility, so
you need to reinstall Win95 before you can restore your backup. What a pain!
