I don't remember what the first version I bought was, but it was at least that 
far back... possibly 1. something.  I never had a problem with it either,
until
version 4.0.  I moved down the freespace and then resized the partitions on my 
drive (OS/2, Win95 Fat 16, and Linux) and nothing would boot!  I booted from
OS/2 floppies and ran the OS/2 textmode program from PM 3.x and it fixed
things up.

I'll confess I haven't looked deeply into the 4.0x Windows only version, altho 
I have installed it.

If it'll 'stand alone' in DOS, that IS good news!  I guess it's time to have a 
look.  Thanks, John.
