It wasn't quite as bad as I said. I had a zip of the OS/2 partition on the
second HD in a dir with all the necessary files to restore. I was then able
to get the C zip from the server.

Homework? I have never found the book.
Can I use InfoZip to backup and restore a FAT C drive with W95 on it?

I moved the 10M secondary to primary and added a 20M secondary. Moved the
contents of primary to secondary. Emptied and reconstructed primary.
Restored Os/2. Used unzip -d to restore C. All of the start menu tree long
file names were lost. Is that the best I can do?
