Oops. Too late. I ran it. Three times. :))

And everything is really fried now. CLEANINI ran to completion each
time I ran it (the third time I used /MULTIPASS which ran for several
iterations) and it finally reported I had no errors. But when I tried
to respond to this email message an hour ago and you asked for a screen
capture of UniMaint, I tried to open the UniMaint folder and my
Workplace Shell hung solid -- the clock even stopped. The cursor was
the busy icon and I could move it around, and I was able to reboot with
two Ctrl-Alt-Del's, but nothing else.

After reboot, I went directly to the UniMaint folder -- and the WPS hung
exactly the same. It won't open the UniMaint folder. I click on the
UniMaint folder icon and the WPS hangs.

anything unusual.

I tried restoring my pre-checkini pre-cleanini OS2*.INI files, but it
still hangs. I have a complete archive of my OS2*.INI files, I just
have to walk backwards through them until I get to a set that works.

Yes. I have the most recent UniMaint, CheckIni and CleanIni.

At this point I've reverted to old OS2*.INI files, so let me wait on
this until I can find a set that's stable.

Let's hold off on this too. I have to start my daily processing and if
I try to run UniMaint from the command line I might hang again. This
weekend I can try ICON.cmd from a command line and see if the UniMaint
folder will open.
