It is in /os2/boot

Done. It doesn't seem to have hurt anything.

So far, it will not work if I REM that out.

I will check on that and report back.
In the meantime, I finally got an answer from RSJ to this question. Here
is what they said:

"I am sorry, but we know that this way of using the software is very
complicate and there can be difficulties.
Normally, we do support only the other way.
We know that it also works this way but as you see there are problems.

Sorry.

Best regards,
Sandra Seywald
RSJ Software GmbH"

She is saying that it does work without LOCKCDR.FLT but she doesn't know
why it doesn't work for me. Sandy
