And heaven help you if you forget what that original directory name was,
because those utilities certainly aren't. The one and only time I've ever used 
them, was to place some game archives larger than a single floppy on disks. A
year or two later, I was going to restore them on a friends machine (took
along OS/2 boot floppies as well) that I was working on, except I couldn't get 
them to restore. After I got back home, I tried again. Several times. Until I
finally got lucky. I immediately relegated them to the same place I put DOS's
pair, in the "never use" category.
