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

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

Just format a blank floppy and run se20boot. The disk needs three files from your install disks. They aren't in your installation. PS: The se20boot.abs file is your documentation. Read it. >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).

First of all, this only works on hard drives. This Undelete feature does nothing for floppies. Second, you won't see anything in the delete directory, since the files are all hidden. -- |) David Charlap "LECTURER, n.
