I dunno, never used the red version, but if it were me, I would zap all the
files in the boot partition and do a fresh install.  That certainly is not
necessary, but would be the easist I think.  The blue version was released at
FP 5 level.  You do need 35 megs FREE space to do the install though.  If the
OS/2 partition doesn't have 35 megs free, it won't install.  The install
routine is too dumb to delete/ignore files it will be overwriting before
checking the freespace.

I don't know what you mean by "board specific files", but, for managing files
there is nothing better than FC/2 or OS2Commander.  Look for:

FC2_201.ZIP    File Commander/2 for OS/2.  Norton Commander Clone. (258K)
OS2C-124.ZIP   OS/2 Commander Norton Clone by Woldgang Sarp (448K)

There may be a newer version of FC/2, I use OS2C myself.

It doesn't, but why would you not have your archivers in your path?

Both file managers support all the archivers used today, and also long
filenames.

Personally, I never found one that didn't, but I guess their are some. 
Obviously, those low level utilities like DOS disk defraggers or file undelete 
things don't work with OS/2.  They still work of course, but not on an OS/2
disk.  Norton disk utilities still work under OS/2 if you are working on a
floppy disk, for example.

I've never found one, but, if you would find one, there are settings in the
DOS settings that address that.  I never needed to use them, so I doubt you
would either, everything seems to run here over the past 9 years.  If you run
into an app that won't run, first, look in the C:\OS2\INSTALL\DATABASE.TXT
file and see if the settings for the app are listed.  If not, post the app and 
your settings here, somebody probably has it running and will give advice.
