I don't have enough room in there at the moment to do this,  unless I want to
stick another smallish drive in there.  It'd be easier for me to get around to 
finishing bringing up the dos/win3 machine I'd started on a while back...

As it sits right now,  there are a couple of games that installed on the w95
box but won't run right there because they can't see the sound card for some
reason (it's a Compaq with built-in sound hardware,  dunno whether it's
supposed to act like a SB or what).  So I let her play them across the network 
from the OS/2 box,  accessing "drive F:".    A little clumsy,  but it
works.
