Oh yeah, I spent 2 whole days, re-installing OS/2 on my hard drive many
many times!  The HPFS always screws up files that where not even in use,
some of them ZIP files and OS/2 files that I really really need, for
example my PMSHELL.EXE and my DLLs and Video drivers, I don't really know
how to re-install OS/2 and let it work again, but to delte everything in
the OS/2 directory... at least it works now, if I apply *ANY* fixpak, I'm
in for trouble and I won't be able to boot :(.

Now OS/2 is a drag to me :(
