I have two 'how to' questions, so I put them together into this one post. 

1) There is a shareware OS/2 application called se20boot, which is
   supposed to make OS/2 bootable disk.  I have the se20boot.zoo file
   with the following contents.

	Archive se20boot.zoo:
	Length    CF  Size Now  Date      Time
	--------  --- --------  --------- --------
	    3868  61%     1505  17 Jul 92 14:46:16     license.txt
	    4669  63%     1725  21 Aug 92 08:33:12     se20boot.abs
	   28459  45%    15537  20 Aug 92 14:27:52     se20boot.exe
	   16504  73%     4428  18 Aug 92 08:36:52     seb_sys.ini
	    4437  55%     2013  18 Aug 92 12:28:30     seb_user.ini
	--------  --- --------  --------- --------
	   57937  57%    25208     5 files

   Note that there is no documentation.  I want to make a bootable
   floppy on my A: drive.  How is this done.  I started to run 
   se20boot.exe from an OS/2 command line, and it asked me to insert my
   installation disk 0.   WHY ??  It should not need my installation diskettes
   when I'm running it on a OS/2 system on the harddisk.  Besides the 
   destination is the A: drive.  How does this program work ??

2) OS/2 documents an UNDELETE command and an associated DELDIR setting 
   in config.sys.  The installation put a DELDIR line in my config.sys
   commented out (with REM).  I removed the REM and created the directory
   mentioned (C:\DELETE).  I rebooted, and then removed a file.  Nothing 
   was in the c:\delete directory (the on-line documentation says my file
   should have been copied there).  I ran UNDELETE which said that the
   the facility was not enabled (I don't recall the exact error message).
   DOES THIS FEATURE WORK ?? AND HOW ??


Please respond via e-mail, not with followup messages to the net, 
as I may miss those.
		Thanks
