I can answer the first question.  Yes, there is, starting with OS/2
1.3.  I believe there's a small utility which will perform this feat
located on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  Unfortunately I have forgotten the name,
but check in the /pub/os2/1.x directory.

If you are unable to find this utility at that site, try calling the
OS/2 Shareware BBS.  The telephone number is given in the OS/2
Frequently Asked Questions List.
