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!
